Preparing the food
Unlike nned fruit there is no extra sugar added during the de-hydrang process
(unless the user adds sugar as an oponal extra, this can somemes produce a
bier taste) it is important to follow these basic guide lines to produce the best
quality food:
Always ensure that the food is in date and of good quality.
It is best to use tree-ripened fruits as they contain the highest natural sugar
content.
Do not use over-ripe or rong fruits and vegetables, if the food has bruised
or discoloured parts, please remove the discoloured secon before
dehydrang.
Some fruits such as apples, pears and apricots are pre-treated to slow the
loss of vitamins and also to prevent discolouring. Always thoroughly wash
food to ensure it does not contain dirt, bacteria and other harmful
substances.
It’s oponal to peel fruit and vegetables before drying them. The peel can
become tough during the drying process; however it is down to your
personal preference.
It may be necessary to steam/ blanch vegetables before drying them, this is
due to the dierent textures of the vegetables.
