Create food that is real and nourishing with BioChef Dehydrators
What are food dehydrators?
Food dehydrators are a great way to reduce your cost of food, increase your nutritional intake and speed up your cooking.
In the past our ancestors relied on the sun to dry out food, but these days it is a process where moisture is removed from foods by circulating air at a very low temperature in an oven-like device including two main designs: stacked shelves and pull out shelves.
What are the main benefits of dehydrating food?
There are many benefits to dehydrating your food and getting a food hydrator machine. Increases your fibre intake Studies have shown that food dehydration helps to increase the fibre intake of fruits and vegetables.
Fibre is an essential nutrient for gut health, digestion and overall wellbeing and many people do not get enough daily fibre according to Australian and American departments of health.
It is recommended you consume at least 25 - 30 grams of fibre per day. One example of fibre increasing in a fruit dehydrator is apricots. When apricots are dehydrated fresh apricots have 3.1 grams of fibre while dried apricots contain 6.5 grams of fibre.
Increased energy and absorption Food dehydrators can help with concentrating calories in your snacks, providing a longer, sustained energy release for your body.
This is helpful for people who go outdoors on long walks, hikes or camping for example, where sugars are important for long periods of activity without the access to refrigeration. Increased nutritional content It has also been shown that food dryer machines increase the nutritional content of food. For example, in fresh apricots there are 0.6 milligrams of iron, whereas in dehydrated apricots it's 2.35 milligrams.
Not only that, but the shelf life of dehydrated foods can be over a year when stored correctly while still maintaining high nutritional content.
This preservation also gives you the ability to eat foods that are not in season, adding variety to your overall nutrition all year round.
Just take care to keep your food in portion control as the increase in sugar and smaller size with dehydrated foods make them super yummy and easy to eat! Decreases the risk of food poisoning Most foods need water for bacteria to form.
This is why you start to notice fresh foods (even when your fridge) eventually grow mould and bacteria. This can lead to food waste, an increase in your weekly grocery bill plus risk of food poisoning from off food.
