Food Dehydrators are so awesome to have in your kitchen.  There are so many healthy treats you can make for your family that normally would be pricey in a store or they may contain preservatives and packaged in plastic.  The dehydrator allows the food to retain 100 % of its nutritional value of vitamins, enzymes and nutrients.

1.  Dried Fruit ~ such as apples, bananas, mangos, pineapples, raisins

2.  Dried Veggies ~ such as Kale Chips, carrot chips, green beans, 

3.  Crispy Nuts and Seeds ~ Soaking and drying nuts and seeds reduces phytic acid and enzyme inhibitors which can prevent absorption of nutrients.  Many nuts soaked for 12-24 hours until nice and crispy. Soaking them until you see a sprout growing increases the nutritional value and the seeds and nuts oven taste better.  Ex. Sprouted Sunflower seeds, Walnuts, sprouted Almonds, etc.

4.  Sprouted Flour ~ Make you very own Sprouted flour by sprouting grain 
kernels and drying them at a low temperature prior to be ground into flour. 

5.  Jerky/South African Biltong ~ Slice the meat to your liking and place on     
trays.  If using ground meat, I recommend using non-stick sheets or  
unbleached parchment paper. You can also make jerky out of tofu and 
even Kombucha SCOBYs!

6.  Fruit Leather ~ I recommend using some sort of non-stick sheet to make 
re-moving the fruit leather easier.  Simply spread purreed fruit onto sheets on the dehydrator tray. 

7. Granola ~  Make yummy soaked then sprouted granola with your   
dehydrator.  You can use any seed or nut like almonds, walnuts, pine nuts, sunflower seeds, pumpkin seeds, Recipe to come.

8. Tempeh ~  Tempeh is a traditional Indonesian food made from fermented    
soybeans which binds the soy beans into a cake like form.  It is a good source of protein, fiber and vitamins.  

9. Natto ~ Natto is a traditional Japanese food made from fermented     
soybeans.  It is a rich source of protein, K2 and beneficial bacteria. It must be fermented at 100 degrees F for 22-24 hours.

10. Pemmican ~ Pemmican is a traditional food often made by Native Americans.  It normally consists of ground meat, animal fat (such as tallow), dried fruit and salt.
