One way to avoid food additives and pesticides completely is to grow your own food; wonderful
at harvest time, but what about the rest of the year?
Using a food dehydrator
you can build a stock of healthy fruits and vegetables for use year
round. Grow your own or buy when prices are low and you'll always have
healthy food available without having to worry about chemical
additives.
Dehydrated fruit is
great for picnics and ideal for packed lunches, and it takes up very
little space, doesn't spoil, and weighs next to nothing. If you live in
an area where extreme weather can be a problem, dehydrated foods are
also really useful in an emergency.
