Introduction to Food Dehydration
How Food Dehydration works
Electric Food Dehydrators eliminate much of the guess work in food drying and
gives you the flexibility to dry food anytime of the day or night and in any weather.
Drying food is the oldest method of preserving food. It is a natural process that
creates an environment in which water is removed from food. Dehydrating food
also seals in the flavours and nutrients of the food, leaving a high nutrient and
vitamin content in your dried foods.Drying fresh, ripe fruit, vegetables, meats and
just about any other type of food, allows you to enjoy these luxuries all year round.
Storing of food is easy and takes up little storage space. Dried food has a long
shelf life in air tight storage jars of approximately 4-6 months depending on type
of food and climate.
Drying fruit and vegetables with your Luvele Food Dehydrator will produce food
that differs in colour and appearance from produce purchased in Health Food
Stores and Supermarkets. This is because most commercially dried foods have
artificial colouring and preservatives added to them. Whereas your Luvele Food
Dehydrator requires no preservatives or additives.
You can dry herbs, flowers, fruits and vegetables straight from your garden. You
can make delicious beef jerky with your favourite herbs and spices. Natural
healthy snacks can easily be created using your Luvele Food Dehydrator, also
a variety of fruit rolls-ups. It is all about experimenting, the choices are endless.
