Top 30 Food Dehydration Tips & Information

27. Dehydrated fruits and vegetables are lower in fat, however their calories are higher per serving size because of density. Eating half the amount of a dried fruit or vegetable is about the same calories of twice the amount if eaten fresh. So, for example, if you wanted to eat 1 cup of fresh chopped apple, you would eat 1/2 cup of dehydrated apple for the same calories. 

28. Once food is rehydrated, use it quickly before it spoils. 

29. Dehydrated fruits and vegetables make healthy crunchy snacks and don't need to be rehydrated to enjoy their intense flavor. 

30. The higher the water content of a given fruit or vegetable, the larger it can be sliced because it will shrink more in the dehydration process.
