Digital Food Dehydrator

Preparing dried foods at home is easywith this Food Dehydrator. It allows you to naturally dry a variety of fruits, vegetables and herbs, without added preservatives. Create your own healthy snacks at home - from fruit rolls and muesli bars to dried fruits and meats.

A wide variety of fresh foods can be dried: fruits, vegetables, fish and meats. These foods can be eaten dried for snacks and parties, or reconstituted for cooking and baking. Drying is easier than canning or freezing: you simply wash, slice and load food onto the dehydrator trays. Within hours your foods are dried and ready to eat or store.

As food dries, natural food flavours and sugars tend to concentrate - giving dried foods a sweeter and stronger burst of flavour than fresh foods. Dried foods are nutritous, too! Drying preserves important nutrients that cooking often destroys. And since you don't add sugar or other additives, dried foods make delicious and healthy snacks for your family.

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.
