request for info on dehydrating

[Guest guest]

Greetings,

I am interested in learning list member's thoughts on dehydrating fruits and

veggies. Is it worth obtaining/using a dehydrator? Is there a significant

loss of vitamins and minerals in the dehydrating process or not? Thanks in

advance for any/all answers. I also wanted to say that I really appreciate

this list and have enjoyed reading the yummy recipes posted...look forward

to trying them, too. I also love learning about herbs and hearing others'

stories of growing/using them, too. Not a lot of experience of growing herbs

under my belt to date except for some lovely lavendula augustifolia with

which I plan to make sachets.

Regards,

Holly
