What is food dehydration?
Food dehydrating, also called food drying, is a food preservation process which removes water from food. The water content of food is generally very high, usually between 80% to 95% for various fruits and vegetables and 50% to 75% for different meats. Removing moisture from food inhibits various bacteria, yeasts and molds from growing and spoiling the food, thus, food dehydrating is an ideal process for the preservation and storing of food.
