Many foods can be dehydrated. But what can you dehydrate? One could say that almost ALL food can be dried, except for really fatty ingredients (fat can not be dehydrated, only by freeze drying).
Some popular options for dehydrating
Fruits | Apples, bananas, strawberries, mangoes, and berries are commonly dehydrated. |
Vegetables | Carrots, bell peppers, tomatoes, kale, zucchini, and onions can be dehydrated. |
