How it works
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.
Storage of dried food
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.
No preservatives added
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.
Versatility
You can dry herbs and spices and flowers
to make potpourri. You can even enjoy the
advantages of rehydrating foods to make
instant additions to soups, sauces and
casseroles. The choice is endless.
Healthy snacks
Natural healthy snacks can easily be created
using your Food dehydrator. A variety of fruit
rolls such as pear, berry and apple rolls, to
name a few. You can make tasty, muesli bars,
using all natural ingredients. These snacks
are great for picnics, camping and at snack
time.
