Drying and dehydrating are the oldest methods
of conservation known to man .
All food contains some proportion of water . .
Desiccation removes the water content from
food, thereby removing the basic conditions for
decomposition, mold formation and fermenting
processes . With proper dehydration and stor-

Even if you already use freezing or canning to
preserve foods, dehydrating will bring a plus to
your kitchen and your palate .
Drying in the kitchen oven often results in con-
densation due to a lack of air circulation; the
dripping and sticking of the juices from the
drying items make the oven hard to clean, as it
is not built for drying .
