Because cucumbers (my spelling is horryble)
Are like 90 something % water, drying it would be very bad -

Stop. Look at me.
Pickle it.
Dehydrate it.
Powder it.
Snort it.-

I think we should start with why are pickles a thing. I mean come on.
-
I dried out a cucumber over time like a gourd, and at the end it was basically a loofah, super light and airy.
-
get a dehydrator & experiment, OP
-
I just realized I have one. Never used it tho, came as a bonus with another thing I bought.
I think I will try that, sounds fun.

Please report back OP

It seems to be something others have tried, and at least one company is selling them. I bet they would be pretty good if you like pickles.
-
Seems like it would work particularly well with a sweet pickle, concentrating the vinegar and salt flavors is going to make them really strong, sweetness would help balance it out a bit.
I'd even consider making a custom batch with a lighter seasoning (like summer style fridge cucumbers), so it's more like cucumber chips with vinegar and salt.
-
I bet dried sour pickles would make a killer seasoning.

some one did it https://rockinwhomestead.com/dehydrated-pickles/
I imagine it isnt popular because it is overpowering.

That means it is entirely possible that you could munch on 20 to 40 of these ships in one sitting if you are not paying attention, and consume the equivalent of two to four fresh pickles.
Would you really eat that many fresh pickles in one sitting?

Are you challenging me?

Maybe because they’re mostly water?
-
my guess is that drying something, much like pickling something, is used as a method of preserving the given food. as a pickle is already preserved, you wouldn’t need to dehydrate it.
-
So are dried pickles the ultimate preserved food? There until the end of time?

Have you ever seen a group of old European men "hanging out" in the gym locker room? That's why.

I'm not sure what is really going on, but my regular grocery store has dill pickle salad and something is crunchy. It's really good!
