Preparing the food
Unlike nned fruit there is no extra sugar added during the de-hydrang process
(unless the user adds sugar as an oponal extra, this can somemes produce a
bier 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 rong fruits and vegetables, if the food has bruised
or discoloured parts, please remove the discoloured secon before
dehydrang.
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 oponal 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 dierent textures of the vegetables.
