Dehydrating Foods

Dehydrating is a great way to not only store food but to also have good wholesome food from your harvest or sales at your local stores or farmers markets available when your ready to use it. Food that may have otherwise spoiled months earlier can easily be saved and stored as it will take up much less space after dehydration. Not only is it easy to learn how to do dehydrators can be had rather inexpensively if you shop around. Below I have included a link to a fairly inexpensive model that I belueve should work for most people. I’d had several smaller dehydrators and after my last one quit working after twenty some odd years I upgraded to a bigger unit it holds up to fifteen pounds or so it says in booklet. I had sliced a ten pound bag of potatoes after discovering that I already had one at home. I just couldn’t pass up the $1.99 sale price. When it was all said and done I still had some shelves empty and the whole bags worth fit in a one gallon glass jar with room to spare. As with anything worth doing there is a learning curve to it and the more you do it the better you’ll become and the easier it gets. I’ve also included a link to an inexpensive book to help you get started if you need one and as always with the links I share you can always search for something more to your liking if you so choose! Thank your for reading my blog and happy dehydrating!
