Benefits of dehydrated foods
• Dried fruits take up little space, yet contain the same amount of nutrients as the fresh ones.
• Eat with a reduced risk of obesity (you'll be avoiding cakes, cookies, candies)
• Perfect for travel as they are light weight and usually not very fragile
• Takes neither freezer, nor refrigerator to store them (saves energy)
• Ready-to-eat healthy treats (however, they are high in sugar content, so if you have difficulty with sugar, eat in small amounts)
• Can be added to soups, salads, oatmeal or smoothies
• Allows you to buy in season and save for later or to preserve your garden produce.

Rather than sneaking candies or a cookie, grab a handful of dried apples, bananas, grapes, blueberries, kiwis, oranges, lemons and sweet strawberries instead. They all make a healthy snack, can be added to your breakfast cereal, refreshing beverage, or eaten on the go.
Dehydrating fruit is one of the most ancient ways to preserve food and one of the best ways to preserve your favorite summer foods.
'Sunlight' is one way to dehydrate your food, but you will have to bring the fruits indoors at night and take them back out into the sun each morning. It takes anywhere from 2 to 6 days to sufficiently dry out a rack of fruit under the summer sun.
The 'oven' is another way, but you’ll have to turn over each piece several times to get the proper air flow.
Using a 'dehydrator' is the quickest, safest way: it's combining prolonged, low heat with proper airflow.

If you are planning on storing dehydrated foods long term, pls look into vacuum sealing the containers for maintaining the freshness.
