    When I got my dehydrator about 2 years ago, I was drying a lot of food, but now I hardly use it.

    My dehydrated corn, green beans and broccoli all have a brown tinge to them after I have finished dehy. them. It is unappetizing to me. I wonder if I am over-doing the timing on the dehydration. Is it possible to over dry veggies? Are your veggies "pretty"? thanks for your comments!

    The dehydrated pineapple gets eaten up as a snack really fast in my house; I never even get a chance to think about long-term storage! I also like to cook dehydrated zucchini and then mix into the mexican style stewed tomatoes, and I enjoy dehydrated lemons in my tea. The dog got to enjoy the...

    I found some information about dehydrated fruit powder today, but it's something I've never tried, and wondered if anyone else has any experience they can share?
