Points to Remember:

• Dehydrating loses fewer nutrients than any other form of home processing. Canning destroys more nutrients than any form of home processing.   

• If you use your freezer you have to pay for the electricity to keep them frozen.

• If you have no power, within 3 days your food will begin to spoil.

• Some frozen foods will keep from one month to one year. You must be very careful about freezer burn and expiration dates.  

• You can either dehydrate your foods sliced, diced, chopped, pureed. You can powder them after drying for quick rehydrating (soups, etc)
