Key Details

• Dehydrator Temperature: 125°F / 52°C
• Dehydrating Time: 4-8 hours
• Slice 1/4 inch thick. Lower temp preserves umami flavor. Done when crispy-dry. Rehydrate in hot water 20 min to use.
• Time varies based on humidity, thickness, and dehydrator model
• Store dehydrated foods in airtight containers in cool, dark place

Why This Matters

• Food dehydrating preserves food without chemicals or refrigeration
• Correct temperature ensures food safety while preserving nutrients
• Too high = cooked outside, moist inside (unsafe). Too low = too slow.
