The Solar Food Dryer
click image for Amazon pageAsk any raw vegan foodist and they will probably tell you their Excalibur dehydrator is their #1 choice in dehydrators. I have one myself. But I can't help but yearn for another method that doesn't use electricity, but makes good use of what is free right outside and up in the heavens--the sun! Who knows, maybe it's a past life in me that yearns to dry and preserve foods in a more ancient and even more earth friendlier manner.
I would absolutely LOVE to do this project. My heart would absolutely SING if I made this thing. I must make this happen!
