Notes:
•
Fruit and vegetables dried in your food dehydrator will be different in appearance
from those sold in health food stores and supermarkets. This is due to your food
dehydrator uses no preservatives, no artificial colouring and only natural additives.
•
Keeping a record of humidity, weight of produce before and after drying times, will
be helpful to improving drying techniques.
Drying Tips:
Drying time for pre-treatment fruit will vary according to the following factors:
•
Thickness of pieces or slices
•
Number of trays with food being dried
•
Volume of food being dried
•
Moisture or humidity in your environment
•
Your preferences of drying for each type of dried food
It is recommended to:
•
Check your food every hour.
•
Label food with ingredients, date dried, and weight before drying. It will also be helpful
to note the drying time for future reference.
•
Cool the dried fruit to room temperature and store it, loosely packed in a clear, airtight
non-plastic container such as a large glass jar.
