A food dehydrator is an excellent investment. It allows you to make your own snacks like dried fruits, jerky, and more. It also helps in the preservation of food from the garden like “sun dried” tomatoes which will be good for several months, are flavorful, and nutritious.
You can save lots of money by buying fruits and vegetables when they’re on sale and, because you dry them, they’ll last up to 3 months in any sealed plastic bag. And, there’s no waste – fruits, meats, and vegetables stored in your refrigerator too long will spoil.
