Dehydration Tips
Fruits
Always start with fresh fruit.
Cut fruit in equal pieces approximately
1
/8” thick.
Thinner pieces will dry quicker.
Fruits need to be dipped into an antioxidant, a color-
keeping preservative, or two parts water and one part
lemon juice. Treating fruit with an antioxidant will help it
retain vitamins, color and flavor.
Vegetables
Most vegetables require blanching to inactivate enzymes.
Herbs and Spices
Herbs and spices dry quickly.
Check every 30 minutes to avoid over drying.
When drying herbs, leaf clusters should be separated
from stems.
