One of the questions that people ask us alot is:  Why do you dehydrate?
Dehydrating food doesn't destroy the nutrients through high temperature. The nutrient plant material is alive.  We usually heat between 118 and 120.  

Food is more flavorful when you dehydrate.  The lower temperatures and the longer heating time brings out all the natural flavors in the food. It is so convenient.  Our girls dance about 24 hours a week.  We need things that are healthy and easy to transport.  
We also need as many vitamins and nutrients possible out of our foods.
