New Food Dehydrator Calculator - Calculate Dehydrated Food Weight

Aug. 23, 2009 - PRLog -- Food-Dehydrator.com's food dehydrator weight calculator is designed to help you estimate the weight of various foods after they have been dehydrated. Or if you have a specific dehydrated amount of food that is needed or desired, the food dehydrator weight calculator will estimate the pre-dehydrated weight amount needed to achieve that dehydrated food goal.

The water content of food is generally very high, typically between 80% to 95% for various fruits and vegetables and 50% to 75% for different meats.  Removing moisture from food inhibits various bacteria, yeasts and molds from growing and spoiling it while also reducing the weight of the dehydrated food.  Food dehydrators are ideal tools for the preservation and storage of lightweight food.

Food-Dehydrator.com's food dehydrator weight calculator can be used at http://www.food-dehydrator.com/food-dehydrator/calculator/food-dehydrator-weight-calculator.aspx.  To use the food dehydrator calculator, simply use the drop down menus to choose a food, a weight measurement, and the amount of pre or post dehydrated food that is desired.
