One of the best ways to use a raw food dehydrator is if you grow your own vegetables and fruit. It's wonderful to know that all that produce you have grown yourself is pesticide and herbicide-free. Many crops produce very little at first, so you can keep up with using them, but then one day you wake up to pounds of fruit and vegetables that you can't possible eat by yourself. You either give them away, watch them rot or you can use a raw food dehydrator to preserve them. You can use them months later, when they cost something ridiculous in the supermarket because they are out of season or imported.

If you don't grow your own produce and want to take advantage of low prices for your favorite fruits and vegetables, you should visit a local farm or farmer's market to get the best deals and the freshest produce, and then preserve it in a raw food dehydrator. It can also be a fun morning out to visit a local farm that has "pick your own" produce - if you pick it yourself you know you are only going to choose the best of the crop and it is the cheapest way to buy produce.

One of my favorite breakfast foods is my own home made muesli. It's simply a combination of rolled oats and dried fruits, such as apple, thin coconut strips, apricots, grapes and all my other favorite fruits that I have dried. It's incredibly quick and cheap to make and it's packed full of tangy tastes and goodness. The raw food dehydrator produces fruit which is not sprayed and full of preservatives, sugars and chemicals that are used in commercially dried fruit, such as sulfur dioxide.

One of our family's favorite salads is cranberry walnut salad. Instead of paying nearly $3 for a small bag of dried cranberries, you can use your raw food dehydrator to make a year's supply of dried cranberries, which are incredibly good for you, and make a huge batch of cranberry dressing to go on this delicious salad.

For vegans and vegetarians they are an absolute must. When your favorite veggies are too expensive to buy, you can simply use vegetables that you have preserved in your raw food dehydrator.

If you make stews, how often do the vegetables cost more than the cheaper cuts of meat you can use in a hearty stew? With a stock of dehydrated vegetables you always have an ample supply of vegetables for your favorite dishes and they taste just as good as fresh.

I started out with a small raw food dehydrator and regretted it and got a large stainless steel bodied 12 tray dehydrator a few months later. I use both when my favorite fruits and veggies are in season.

If you are a beef jerky family, a raw food dehydrator is an excellent alternative to buying expensive, preservative-laden beef jerky in the store.

Whatever you use your raw food dehydrator for, your food will be healthier, your meals cheaper and those preserved foods will not be full of chemicals and preservatives. The raw food dehydrator preserves all the natural enzymes and flavors, all you lose is the water.
