Excalibur Food Dehydrator

The Excalibur food dehydrator is one of the best around for dehydrating fresh herbs.

If you grow your own herbs for home remedies then you’ll find a dehydrator a BIG asset.

Basically, you pop the leaves/flowers/stems/berries on the trays, set the temperature, switch on and leave it to do it’s work?

There are many food dehydrators on the market and generally speaking, you get what you pay for. I’ve tried the $30 kind, waste of money! You can also pay thousands, the Excalibur comes around the middle and is good value for home use.

Don’t forget, you can make fruit leathers, jerky, fish, in fact, you can pretty much dry any kind of food.

The Excalibur Food Dehydrator removes water from food by a continuous circulation of thermostatically-controlled warm air. A variety of foods, from bright golden kernels of farm-fresh corn to rings of island-sweetened pineapple can be dehydrated.

Slices of beef, chicken, fish or even venison can be easily dried into homemade jerky. A fruit puree dries into a vividly colored, taffy-like snack or fruit roll.

Make soup mixes, herb and spice mixes, yogurt, arts & crafts, even all-natural pet treats. Using your dehydrator compared to traditional canning or freezing methods will prove to be well worth your initial low-cost investment.
