What will the dried weight be?20-25 ozAfter 6 hours, a tad over 5 1/2 poundsA ripe banana is 75-80% water so they must be pretty wet.Using those percentages i'll end up with about 20 ounces. That is where I got my number ;-)I grow bananas in the yard. I know the whole plant is just a sponge.The stalks are heavier than oak.

You betcha. I had to cut the stalk in 4 pieces to carry it to the curb.
By the way, I screwed up. I should have subtracted the weight of
the drying racks. My bad. I have extracted about 2 1/4 pounds of
moisture so far. I'll keep drying for a couple more hours. Based
on that I should have about 9.25 oz of chips and 3.6 lbs of
drying apparatus.
