Hey y’all, I’m a newbie dehydrator. I dehydrated some tomato paste (lacto-fermented tomatoes to get the tomato water, dehydrated the remaining pulp after straining) and it looks like I have some white powdery growth.

Does anyone here know if it’s definitively salt/mineral crystals from the lacto-fermentation/tomatoes or is there a possibility that it’s mold and should be discarded?

Thanks in advance!
