How to Dehydrate Fruits and Vegetables with a Dehydrator
How to Store Dried Foods
Note: the dehydrator in the instructions above uses power. If using a solar dehydrator, drying takes longer, and I'd advise getting a book on that. Haven't found a site yet that goes into enough detail for different types of foods. But the above page does give the basics on what to look for in foods (fresh, not over-ripe or bruised), info on preparation, and on how to make sure the foods are dried enough.
If I have time this summer I may post on solar dehydrating, but first, we have to build some solar dehydrators....
