Dehydrated food is a great alternative to refined and processed food products, as it provides a lightweight and nutrient-dense alternative to regular food
Dehydration is one of the earliest methods of preserving food, as it was previously only done by the sun. Today, with the help of home appliances and commercial equipment, we can now remove the moisture from food, which results in a longer shelf life. It’s also beneficial to add dehydrated food to a variety of healthy and nutritious food products, such as cereals, fruits, and vegetables.

You can easily dehydrate various food items, such as vegetables, fruits, and meat, in a variety of equipment such as an oven or a food dehydrator. Although there are many types of dehydrated food available in stores, be careful as they have added sugars, salt, oils and preservatives.
Although dried food retains its nutrients and water content, it loses its size and has more calories than its hydrated counterparts. To avoid overeating, consume small portions of dehydrated food instead of large ones.
According to studies, food that has been dehydrated can retain its nutrients much longer than fresh produce. This is because the nutrients in fresh produce are typically lost within a couple of days after refrigeration.
