While there are several reasons to dry food, the main reason is to preserve it. Covering virtually all surfaces of the world are microorganisms; bacteria and fungi. Some (but certainly not all) of these microorganisms cause our food to spoil and can be dangerous to our health. Most are harmless, while some microorganisms are actually beneficial and will make our food ferment, but that is another story. All microorganisms need two main things to grow: nutrients and water. If we take away either of these things, the microbes will not grow and multiply, and therefore our food will be safe from spoilage. Taking the water out of our food is one of the simplest, and low-energy ways to keep it safe from spoilage- and it is one that, hopefully with this simple guide and a little effort, you can get started today, and join us in the goal of having A Dehydration Station in Every Nation![1]
