What are Living Foods?
Raw foods or living foods are uncooked, free from animal products, easy to digest, rich in
enzymes, and highly nutritious. As you bit into a raw fruit or vegetable, you are experiencing
the full potential of vitamins, minerals and enzymes in one compact package. Raw foods are
high in nutritional value because no nutrients have been loss by the heat of cooking. They
are easier to digest because of the active enzymes, therefore your body doesn’t have to work
as hard to digest foods, which give you more energy. Dehydration is the best way to preserve
the essence of raw fruits and vegetables
Why Excalibur
®
is Superior for Living Foods
Excalibur uses the proper control of temperature and time. With the patented Parallex Horizontal-
Airflow Drying System, patented Hyperwave Technology and the adjustable thermostat, you
can control the temperature and Excalibur controls the airflow for fast and even drying. Air
temperature fluctuates up to evaporate moisture from the surface of the food and fluctuates
down to move moisture from the center of the food to the outside. This keeps the food
temperature low enough to preserve the enzymes.
Food Temperature vs. Air Temperature
During the dehydration process the food temperature is generally 20 to 30 degrees F cooler
than the air temperature, due to the effects of evaporation. As the warm air blows across the
food, moisture is evaporated from the foods surface, creating a cooling effect that keeps the
food temperature cooler than the air temperature. Keep in mind that the dial settings represent
air temperature, so the air temperature may be as much as 25 degrees higher.
How to use your Dehydrator for Living Foods
To preserve living enzymes Hippocrates Health Institute recommends setting the dehydrator
at the highest temperature for the first two or three hours, then turn it down to less than
120˚F/49˚C for the remaining time.
