uh,oh Beany, what did you mean when you said “use your 20% on foods you need cooked” . .? Is 80% a good percentage to stay a when you are new to raw?
I will also try to read more about this and thank-you :)
I use my oven all the time to dry out peppers and such…..that said, I own a dehydrator too…the oven is much faster though.
I personally prefer a dehydrator, though I don’t have one but do want to get one. Dehydrating preserves alot of the nutrition because it is such a slow process that would be comparable to drying something in a hot Mediterranean sun (which is what they used to do in the old days was dry foods by the sun). I am dubious as to how much nutrition you are loosing through low heat oven baking of foods you want dehydrated…. Personally I am just going to save some money until I can buy a dehydrator and in the meantime buy my dehydrated goods from the health food store….
