In recent years, the ancient method of preserving vegetables, fruits, mushrooms, and herbs has been rediscovered by people who want to conserve their garden harvest in a way that retains as many valuable nutrients as possible. It is increasingly being used by those who have high standards for their daily food and prefer to take matters into their own hands, often with a willingness to experiment. In addition to the traditional preservation of fruits and vegetables, healthy bread, flatbreads, cookies, pizza bases, nutritious fruit bars, crunchy vegetable chips, and aromatic fruit leather in raw food quality can also be made in a dehydrator or oven, and sometimes even simply air-dried. Moreover, dried meat, in the form of jerky, is no longer appreciated only during trekking tours but is now recognized as a high-protein snack.
