Dehydrated food is a simple way to store fresh food and it has many uses.
The first step is buying a dehydrator, Best Home Nerd has some very useful information on what to look for, ways to dehydrate and of course fab reviews on the products.
Dehydrated fruit is used more than anything in my house, the kids love to snack on it and I prefer to bake with it.
It’s a simple way to store fresh fruit and keep it for baking or snacking. Even popping on cereal as a treat.
The list is endless for what to dehydrate.
You can do things like mushrooms, onion, even your herbs!
Fruit is the most used food that is dehydrated as it can be used in more things than vegetables for example.
I like to dehydrate exotic fruits and use them in granola, even baking them in muffins or cakes.
Make a cake tasty and use dried fruit!
There is nothing worse than making muffins and the fruit makes them soggy.
You can get just as much flavour from dried, so go for dried!
It’s easier to store and doesn’t go mouldy within 3-4 days like fruit does.
I waste so much fruit, so now when it starts to become ripe, I star to dehydrate any I think that wouldn’t be eaten.
Just dehydrate and pop in containers or air-tight bags.
With an internet full of recipes, you can;t go wrong.
I have even seen dehydrated dog food and treats! So it is literally endless for what you can do.
Have you tried dried food yet? Made any fun recipes with it?
