Dehydrated food was always part of the human diet and is a better way to preserve food than adding
chemical additives. Our ancestors sustained themselves on natural dehydrated foods and later used heat
from the sun or their fires to preserve food harvested between seasons.
Why Dehydrate…?
Your dehydrator is a tool that uses relatively low temperatures and a turbo fan to dry food. It essentially
removes the water from food, but it keeps the enzymes of your food intact.
You can now create foods that will have same texture as cooked or fried dishes while keeping all the
goodness of raw food.
Dehydrated foods are a great way to transition to raw food, and even as a great gluten-free treat maker.
Most of the dehydrated foods can replace the textures and tastes of the most addictive foods like bread,
cookies, and chips. Who would not want that?
If you are dehydrating to below 50
℃
your food can still be considered raw. Note that meat or fish should
always be dehydrated at maximum dehydrator temperature to prevent bacterial growth.
You can also use a dehydrator to preserve excess produce. If you are lucky enough to have an abundant
garden (or just a great deal of fresh local produce) then you can use a dehydrator to preserve your pick.
Simply clean and cut your fruits or vegetables and place on your dehydrator trays. Depending on water
content you might need to dehydrate for a longer time.
Dehydrated fruits and veggies make great snacks, or can be used to top salads, sauces and soups.
You may also consider that many of the supermarket dried food will still contain preservatives like sulfites or
other substances, so is better to dehydrate yourself knowing that nothing else was added.
Dried food is easily stored, popular with backpackers, hikers, campers, boaters, cooks, gardeners, dieters,
and health food enthusiasts. Also a great way to make tasty snacks for kids.
Dehydration is one of the easiest and most efficient methods of food preservation. Food is exposed to gentle
heat and circulated air in order to remove moisture. Lacking moisture, bacteria and micro-organisms are
inhibited so dehydrated foods can be preserved for long periods without refrigeration and they have far less
weight and bulk.
You can also use a food dehydrator to dry flowers, herbs and grains.
