Dehydrating Food Articles

Slicing fresh celery on a plastic cutting board

This dehydrating food articles page contains a shortened list of articles written by myself, and others, over the years.

Stop Wasting GOOD Food!

So here I am, slicing up celery stalks and making sure they each take their place on the dehydrator tray.

I mean, each tiny piece of celery means something. It's not just a scrap that you scrape off the plate—not anymore.

I keep the leaves too; they chop up beautifully in our homemade vegetable soups, and the tiny stalk slices are excellent for use in chicken salad or tuna salad. Nothing goes to waste.
