Reconstituting Dehydrated Foods

Here is a list of items and what they yield after reconstitution. Of course this list is not complete, but once you try some of these you can experiment with your own product. Prepping is not easy and no one (not even my husband) will ever know everything they need to know.

Each situation and place is different. So your best bit is to practice and practice some more.It has been my experience that vegetables rehydrate better with boiling water and fruit warm water. Don’t rush it give it a chance to soak.
