(A Brief History of Dehydration)

Archeologists have discovered that early man sustained

himself on natural dehydrated foods. They did this by

using the heat from the sun or their ﬁres to preserve food

harvested during plentiful seasons.

Dried foods have been found in pyramids and other tombs,

and even centuries later some of it was still completely

preserved! For this reason early civilizations used dehydrated

foods on long journeys. The Vikings carried dried foods on

their sea voyages, Pilgrims found Native Americans drying

food, and pioneers used dried beef jerky and other dried

foods as staples on their journeys across the country. And

now in our own time, the Astronauts use dehydrated food up

into space because it is lightweight and does not take up that

much room.

Today, modern society is taking an increased interest in

the nutritional value of dehydration. Dehydrating is simple,

healthy, green and economical. With the Ronco Dehydrator

you still save money, and the process goes much faster than
