FOOD PREPARATION

Fruit and vegetable peel often contain much of the food‘s nutritional value. Therefore it

is better not to peel if the dried food is to be eaten as snack or used in cookies. On the

other hand, you will want to peel apples intended for a pie or tomatoes intended for

soup. Generally, if you normally peel the food for a specic recipe, then peel the food

before it is to be dehydrated.

One of the most important factors in successful dehydration is how the food is sliced.

When drying fruits it helps to get all the slices about the same thickness so they all dry

to the same moisture level, at the same time. Thick slices dry more slowly than thin slices.

The thickness you choose is up to you but slicing all the pieces to as close to the same

size as is possible will help ensure success and consistency.

The skin of many foods naturally protects the food but it can hamper the dehydration

process. During dehydration, moisture escapes best from a cut or broken surface not

through the tough skin. Therefore, the larger the cut area, the faster and better the food

will dehydrate.

For this reason thin stalked vegetables like green beans, asparagus, and rhubarb should

be cut in half the long way, or with an extreme diagonal cut to expose as much of the

inner parts of the food as possible. Fruit should be sliced across the core and not down

through the core. Try to always make

thin at cuts.

Broccoli stems should be halved or quartered depending upon diameter. Small fruits like

strawberries can be cut in half. Even smaller berries should either be cut in half or blanched

slightly to break the skin.
