Basic Food Preparation Tips
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 specific 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
