[QUOTE="Brunneria, post: 1958714, member: 41816"] The nutritional value will depend on a number of things - The heat used is a big factor (food is still considered raw, if the enzymes are not denatured (cooked) so if the food is dehydrated below around 115 degrees, then you get more nutrition than if it were cooked). The amount of oxidisation is another... So basically, the more food is cut up and exposed to air, the more oxidisation. And the hotter it is during dehydration, the more enzymes are lost. But then... some nutrients are made more accessible by long slow cooking... So it all depends on the food, how it is prepped, and which aspects of nutrition you want to retain. Sorry, no simple answer. (if you go and look at Raw Food websites, they extoll the virtues of dehydrators for many reasons, including how nutrients may be retained. They can give you the correct temperature to set the dehydrator for different nutritent retention.) [/QUOTE]
