Here's an easy plastic wrap guide—your dehydrated fruit and
vegetables may need this optional plastic wrap protection—easy to do
as shown in the eight photographs below!
NOTE: When you have taken out a packet of dehydrated food to use, don't throw away the plastic wrap!
Instead, wrap it around an old cardboard paper-towel roll tube or fold the plastic wrap gently—and USE IT AGAIN!
Fold back about 1/2" of it from the edge so you can use it as a "tab" ... no more picking at the edge to FIND the edge! I do the same thing for scotch-tape!

When you have dehydrated your food, it can become brittle and pretty sharp. Just give a quick tap on any of your dehydrated food bags after vacuum-sealing. You'll see that they're pretty hard, right?
Always use good quality food vacuum sealer bags. Check out the Amazon suppliers link(s) on the vacuum bags'
page at Amazon.
So that's why we do all this: to prevent the dehydrated food packets from puncturing the bag that's next to it in the Mylar bag
Wrap the vacuumed bag first with plastic wrap, and follow the pictorial guide, above!
