How it works
Dehydrating food is an ancient method of
preserving food. It is a gentle, natural process
which removes moisture from food. Using a
controlled heat temperature, air is circulated
throughout the device. This method of drying
seals in the flavours and nutrients of the
food, leaving a high food nutrient and vitamin
content.
Storage of dried food
Drying fresh, ripe fruit and vegetables allows
you to enjoy these luxuries all year round.
Storing of food is easy and takes up little
storage space. Dried foods have a longer shelf
life of approximately 3-6 months when stored
in air-tight storage jars depending on type of
food and climate.
No preservatives added
Fruit and vegetables dried using your Smart
Food Dehydrator, will differ in colour and
appearance from produce purchased from
Health food stores and supermarkets. This is
due to these stores adding artificial colouring
and preservatives to the produce. Whereas
your Food dehydrator uses no preservatives
and only natural additives.
