Dehydrated Vegetables and meals are an excellent method of food preservation.
Whether you’re a homesteader, prepper, or outdoor enthusiast, you’ll appreciate dehydrated food. Dehydrating is a method of preservation uses fewer resources than canning or freezing. If you’re into hiking or backpacking, dehydrated meals, veggies or meat are lightweight to carry. We love making dehydrated kale chips as a healthy snack.
I was recently given a copy of Prepper’s Dehydrator Handbook: Long-term Food Storage Techniques for Nutritious, Delicious, Lifesaving Meals to review. There are many things I love about this book!

For example, peppers
