Home-dried foods are healthier than those in the Health Food Store! Dehydrating is the best way to preserve the essence of fresh fruits and vegetables. In addition to chemicals used for preservation and other purposes, commercially prepared "dried" foods may contain saturated fats, indicating that the food may have been fried rather than simply having the moisture removed.

Great for Raw Food proponents since dehydrating doesn't subject foods to high temperatures associated with traditional canning methods. When a raw food is heated to an internal temperature of 120F or higher, much of it's nutritional value is lost, especially enzymes. Canning also leaches out water soluble vitamins and minerals, which further depletes the healthful qualities of raw-living foods.

Hunters can use a dehydrator to make their own jerky with their own meat. It's better than store bought: fresh, wholesome, free of preservatives, no byproducts and cost effective.
