DEHYDRATOR

5

Dehydration refers to a process in which moisture is removed from food, pre-

venting spoilage, and allowing dried food to be stored safely for later use. Few 

nutrients are lost during dehydration. 

•  The food retains almost all of its nutrients and taste.
•  You can control the quality of your food; preserving food at its nutritional

height.

 

•  The weight and size of the food is reduced.
•  There  are  no  worries  about  spoilage,  unlike  frozen  foods,  if  there  is  a  loss  

  of electricity.
•  Food becomes more energy-dense.
•  Food is not subjected to extreme high temperatures as in the canning process.
•  Preparation  is  easy  and  the  drying  process  doesn’t  need  to  be  constantly  

  attended.
•  Dehydrating can be done overnight.
•  Dehydrated foods are easy to store and simple to use.

Since natural sugars concentrate as you remove moisture, the dried product 

is naturally sweet. Usually, you won’t need to add sugar as dehydrated foods 

naturally taste good.

Dehydrated foods should be stored in an air-tight container.
