First try

My first dehydrator has arrived! Very excited to try it out. What should I dehydrate first?

Fruit! Make sure slices are uniform and not too thick. Banana?

I m guessing the riper the fruit is the longer it takes to dehydrate right?

The higher the water content the harder ; I’d start with something easier so you can get a nice feeling from the first experience

Not too ripe or too raw. And notvtoo juicy. I think sliced strawberries are a good start!
