Ever Think About Trying A Dried Food Recipe?

Dried food recipes are the newest fad in an ever evolving world of culinary creations. Part of the appeal of a dried food recipe is that there is no worry about ingredients spoiling. You can keep the necessary ingredients in your pantry at home for years and just throw the recipe together when you are ready, no hassle, and no running to the grocery store to pick up a new cucumber because your old one has spoiled.


Nearly any food can be dehydrated. Beef? Think beef jerky. Kale? Think kale chips! The possibilities are endless and this emerging trend is cultivating some of the most creative culinary endeavors to hit the market in decades. Generally, dried food recipes are a healthy option for preparing your favorite meals. If you have leftovers you can stow them in your home in a jar or plastic bag without any worry that it might go bad.
Some of the most delicious soups are created from dried foods because the flavor of the food is condensed when dehydrated and then infuses the broth when put into the soup. Dried mushrooms, dried peppers, and dried onions can add a dash of spicy delight to any dish. There are dried food recipes for dessert as well. Imagine having a mulberry muffin with cinnamon sugar struesel or some pumpkin pie oatmeal cookies to satisfy your sweet tooth late at night.

There are dried food recipes for nearly everything. A dinner of dried sweet potato Shepherds pie sounds pretty tasty. Or how about Dried eggplant parmesan? The process is simple and the reward is great and long lasting. It's a surprise to many people that d
ried food as a go-to cooking method has not caught on earlier, but its' time is now.

The energy involved in dehydrating foods is minimal and it offers an easy way to preserve local produce in your own home for up to several years. So if your local farm ever has a poor season it will be okay because you have already dried the produce from years prior and are prepared. If you live in a hot arid climate it is even possible to dry out foods directly under the sun! The process of solar-dehydration takes about 3-5 days and requires nearly 95-degree temperatures with low humidity. If you live in the Arizona desert then you are in luck. For those of us who don't happen to live in the desert there are other methods of dehydration conducive to any Environment. for example, your own oven, turned on low can function as a dehydrator.

If your into protecting the environment, avoiding waste at all costs and living a healthy and sustainable life then dried food recipes are something you should be thinking about. The health benefits, not only for your body, but for planet earth, are undeniable. Moreover, the tastiness of dried foods is so succulent and intense that it adds many layers of flavor and complexity to all of your favorite dishes. So whether it's munching on a few dehydrated kale chips or biting into a mulberry muffin, you can't go wrong with dried food recipes.
