Tangy, slightly chewy, with a delicately lingering sweet aftertaste.... meet the delicious dehydrated strawberry!
The alchemy of dehydration is removing the water from the strawberry using low heat with dry, moving air. I use the Excalibur dehydrator on 115 degrees. The transformation that takes place is a smaller and lighter slice of strawberry that is still nutrient dense from its original state.
The most obvious benefit to dehydrating fruits is preservation. This perfect snack is great for backpacking, hiking, and camping. Summer's strawberries gets those tastebuds activated and before you know it that summer fruit is gone. So, looking ahead...prepare dehydrated fruits from summer's harvest and pack them in school lunches for the kids, for yourself, and for the workplace! They won't last long!
