History of Dehydration
Drying is perhaps the oldest method of food preservation. Early nomadic mankind must have relied heavily on dehydration for survival. We know that ancient Egyptians and Greeks used dry food. Many of the famous old world explorers might have never discovered new lands were it not for the dried fruits, grains, and meats that they carried in their cargo holds. Dehydrating became less popular with the advent of refrigeration, but during World War I and II there was considerable research conducted on dehydration.
Today we all enjoy the convenience of prepared dried food. This food has the advantage of being light weight, compact, easy to transport, with a reasonably long shelf life. In addition, drying has a lower heat exposure than cooking, so flavor and vitamin loss is minimized. Check out the list of benefits to your pet when you use our jerky.
