What kinds of foods can be dehydrated?
Almost any food can be dehydrated – Fruits, vegetables, meats, cheeses and even yogurt! And if dehydrated properly, you can retain almost all of the nutrients. (Some fruits and vegetables may lose a bit of vitamins A and C, but this can be minimized if properly pretreated). And the recipes are endless to make crackers, breads, cookies, vegetarian burgers, potpourri, granola, snack bars, candy, you name it! For example, my daughter and I made blueberry nut bars on Friday night (just walnuts, almonds, blueberries and raisins), and it delivered a fabulous PB&J for lunch today! We also make low-calorie sweet potato treats for our overweight yellow lab and a variety of trail mixes for park outings. I can personally recommend Excalibur food dehydrators. I had thoroughly researched different dehydrators before purchasing my first one, and Excalibur, whose dehydrators run from around $100-$200, appeared to me to have the most durable equipment, the best prices, and the strongest customer servi
