HOW TO DRY FOODS by Deanna DeLong, Copyright 1979.
Try Drying... Preserving foods when they are in season is not a new idea. Many of us have preserved foods by canning or freezing. Now more people are turning to drying as a way of preserving food. Here's why: DRIED FOODS ARE ECONOMICAL Drying food is inexpensive. A commercial dehydrator can easily pay for itself in a summer or two. You don't need canning jars, and there is no energy cost for storage as there is in freezing. NUTRITIOUS TOO If you are watching your sugar consumption, you'll appreciate dried foods because you don't add sugar. As food dries, the natural sugar in it concentrates, making it sweet. Dried fruits, fruit leathers and jerky are especially good replacements for sugar-laden snacks. Nutritionally, drying compares well with other methods of preservation. For most foods, the nutritional value retained is about the same as with freezing. Drying has a lower heat exposure than canning and therefore destroys fewer vitamins. In fact, the loss of nutritive value during most drying processes is small in comparison to the loss during cooking. Generally, the only vitamins lost during drying are vitamins A and C which are available in many fresh foods. There is wide concern today about additives and preservatives used in commercially prepared foods. When you dry your own, you know what's in it. SOMETHING FOR EVERYONE In this book you'll find recipes for soup mixes, salad sprinkles, baby foods, seasoning mixes, vegetable or fruit flakes, and much more. Because dried foods are lightweight and low in volume--they take up about one-tenth the space of canned foods--they are ideal for backpacking and camping. This softbound book measures 8-5/8" x 11", contains 160 pages and is in very good condition (there is wear on the edges of the cover and the very tip of the front lower right corner of the front cover is missing, however, the text and illustrations are clean and bright).
