The Advantages of Dehydrating Vegetables With Your Dehydrator

-

 Dehydrated food is also known as living food, because the dehydration process retains almost all of the nutrients found in vegetables, preserves the enzymes and stops the growth of bacteria. Dehydrating your vegetables is an excellent money saving tool when you have a lot of vegetables as dehydrating vegetables prevents them from going rotten in your garden or fridge.

The art of dehydrating vegetables has been around for quite some time and many civilizations used this method to preserve their food. When dehydrating your vegetables you are simply removing the moisture found in the vegetables which allows you to store the vegetables and use or rehydrate them at a time convenient for you as opposed to having to use them immediately or putting them in the freezer.


With the design of the food dehydrator, dehydrating your food has become simpler and more and more people are dehydrating their vegetables and other food as a method of adding nutrients and vitamins to meals.

Fruit is one of the best things for us because they are packed with vitamins that are natural and easy for our body to process. Fruits are used in the detox process of a juicing diet.

 Spring is in the air, friends are getting married and this time I know exactly what to get for them. The happy couple are both diabetic and both like sweets and desserts which makes them a perfect fit for a frozen fruit treat maker! The shock of having to go from normal diet to zero sugar in a week (or less), is profound. My husband really struggled to stay cheerful as one by one the old favorites vanished off his plate. No more sticky caramel sponge, or white chocolate cream cheese, no more rich sweet ice creams with boozy combinations. In fact, as he put it no more foodie fun. The reality sunk in over a couple of weeks, even breakfast of homemade bread toasted with marmalade was out, forget normal marmalade it's loaded with sugar. Most breakfast cereals have added sugar, check on the side of the box and you'll be in for a nasty surprise as there's very few with low enough sugar to qualify as diabetic friendly. I won't run through the whole day's meals and how...
