VEGETABLES

Preparation and Pretreatment

1. Choose vegetables that are fresh and crisp.  

2. Wash thoroughly and dry. Remove any blemishes or spoiled spots. 

3. Whenever possible slice vegetables into 6 mm (1/4") slices. For other 

vegetables follow instructions in the drying chart.   

4. As with fruits, pretreating of vegetables is optional. If you wish you can

pretreat vegetables to help retain colour, extend shelf life and enhance
nutritional value. Pretreat vegetables by blanching or steam blanching 
as described below. 
a) Blanching 

Soak vegetables in boiling water for 1 – 2 minutes. Plunge into ice 
cold water. Drain.  Place on paper towels and pat dry. Place on 
Dehydrator Trays. 

b) Steam Blanching 

Bring a saucepan of water to the boil. Place vegetables in a colander 
above the saucepan and cover. See Vegetable Drying Chart for cooking 
time. Plunge vegetables into ice cold water. Drain. Place vegetables on 
paper towels and pat dry. Place on Dehydrator Trays.

c) Microwave Blanching

NOTE: 

Microwave blanching leaves the vegetables with a brighter 

colour than steam blanched vegetables.
Place a small amount of water in a shallow, microwave-safe cooking 
dish. Refer to your microwave instructions for cooking times. Use only
1/4 of the time suggested. Plunge vegetables into ice cold water. 
Drain. Place vegetables on paper towels and pat dry.  

Vegetable Drying Chart

Vegetables should be dried at 50 - 55°C (120 - 130°F).  Greens such as spinach
and kale should be dried at 40°C (105°F).  Exact dehydrating time varies greatly
depending on several factors: Type, size, quality of food, quantity placed on
trays and personal preference.  Use the Vegetable Drying Time Chart as a 
guideline.  It will help to keep notes on the type of food, weight before and
after drying, total drying time and final results.
