Guide to Dehydrating Fruits and Vegetables

Choose your desired fruits or vegetables to dehydrate.

Prepare the items by washing, peeling (if necessary), and slicing, shredding, or dicing into uniform pieces.

Arrange the prepared food in a single layer on the trays of a food dehydrator, ensuring pieces do not overlap.

Dehydrate according to your machine's instructions for the specific food type until completely dry. Vegetables should be brittle, and fruits should be leathery.

Allow the dehydrated food to cool completely to room temperature before storing.

Store in airtight containers, such as glass jars or vacuum-sealed mylar bags, in a cool, dark, and dry place.
