Dried Foods Benefits

Living foods are uncooked foods.  They are easy to digest, rich in vitamins, minerals, and enzymes, and are highly nutritious.  

-The Healing Journal

Dried fruits are tasty, healthy snacks for kids and adults alike.  They're an ideal addition to lunch boxes, road trips, or while watching a movie at home.  Dehydrated foods can be eaten right out of the bag, added to salads, soups, party dips, cereals and are wonderful in baking.  Click here to learn more about recipes for dehydrated fruits and vegetables!

When packed well, dehydrated foods boast a longer shelf-longer than foods preserved via other methods (i.e. freezing, canning, pasteurizing, refrigeration).  They are economical, safe from spoilage, and ideal during natural disasters and hard times.

As a food preservation method, dehydration is one of the healthiest methods. The nutritional value remains unaffected, while flavor is enhanced. Dehydrated foods rival cooked foods, as the heating process involved in cooking and canning kills many of the food's naturally occurring vitamins, minerals and enzymes.
