Are dried veggies good for your body and why ?!
Answers:
Absolutely, dehydrating retains almost 100% of the nutrients. It is one of the best forms of food preservation. It's concentrated, giving it a higher nutrient density than most foods. And the salt and fat content is reduced.
Here is a good article on the subject. There are also videos on the site showing you how to dehydrate. It looks pretty easy and a good idea during this economy.

Definitely not preferred option when fresh vegetables are available. In Mediterranean countries and Japan they do it because they need to preserve what is grown for a limited season need to be used throughout the year. That is why grape leaves and lemon are salted and preserved by these people.
