Dehydration is a natural means of food preservation that extends the shelf life of food significantly. Dehydrating food began with the primitive practice of setting herbs, berries, grasses, roots, and meats in the sun to dry. Often, a good harvest or catch of fish not only met the family’s immediate needs but also provided dried foods for harsh winter months. Dehydration relies on warm air circulating over food to carry away moisture. It takes place at a very low temperature, preserving the nutritional value of food.
Why Excalibur?
Only Excalibur offers the Turbo Charge Parallexx Drying System. Millions have rediscovered the benefits of food dehydration: healthy, nutritious, and tasty food at a huge savings. Excalibur makes drying easy. For centuries food has been dried in the sun or open air--a lengthy, messy, and difficult process inviting contamination and spoilage. With the introduction of electric dehydrators, the drying process was improved. But most manufacturers offered round stackable models with a heating unit in the bottom. Excalibur pioneered a rear-mounted equipment package allowing horizontal or parallel air flow . . . the Parrallexx System . . . and continues to be the worldwide leader in dehydration technology and innovation. Every Excalibur model has a combined knowledge of over 35 years of dehydration research and development, make Excalibur dehydrators the best in the world.
