REGISTRATION FOR THIS SEMINAR CLOSES AT 11:00pm PST ON 10 MAY
We hope you enjoy creating these dehydrating options and take full advantage of their powerful nutrient density powers. When you think of how much fruit or veg you need to dehydrate to get a sufficient amount of ground food - the nutrient levels are out of this world!! Just a little bit will ... heal you!
The process of dehydrating foods is quite simple and easy to understand. It is simply the removal of all water content from the food, inhibiting any growth of yeast, bacteria or molds. There are many methods to dehydrate food - from a conventional oven to a timed and temperature setting appliance. They all work!
Depending on your dehydrator of choice, times for dehydration are not all the same. Read your dehydrator manual for its specific temperatures and times for guidance. And remember, just keep checking the food - when it it no longer 'soft', it is ready!
GENERAL GUIDANCE FOR ANY TYPE OF DEHYRATING PROCESS
Try to buy orgarnic fruit and veg when dehydrating
Clean as much fruit or veg which you intend to dehydrate
Slice/Cut your fruit or veg to allow for more surface area contact with the air
Be patient - dehydrating can take a long time - but it is worth it
Grind your dehydrated fruit or veg in the appliance you prefer - I use a NurtiBullet
Scroll down for some photos of just a few of the foods we dehydrate in our house and join our seminar in May to learn all about each food's nutrient content as well as its health benefits for our lives.
You can also get lost in the plethora of websites out there with specific guidance and temps and times ... or you can simply follow the guidance above and play and find your perfect time and temp and size. After all, our time creating with food such a pleasurable experience - especially when we remember we are simply playing!
