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 from the top of the unit to each of the five trays and base. This method of drying seals in the flavours and nutrients of the food leaving a high food nutrient and vitamin content. 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. Fruit and vegetables dried using your 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.
