Is it necessary to dehydrate just fruits or just vegetables at a time? Will I risk mixing taste to other items?

Different food need to be dehydrated at different temperatures and for different period of time. Assuming two food requires same temperature and period of time, the taste mixing would vary depending on the food.

I have done both at the same time with no flavor transfer at all. If you plan on making jerky just make sure you wash it well before you use it again.

I usually use water, but you can mix it with almond, soy or coconut milk and add fruit for flavor. (I use water to assure the calories are low.)

I believe you can mix it with anything you want. I never have because I like to have smoothies in the morning. You can put it in your salad dressings. Whatever you think pumpkin seeds will taste good in. I hope that helps you.

You could use it for leafy things, like basil, oregano, mint etc. But for thicker vegetables like carrots or onions your better off getting a forced air dehydrator. It will dry your vegetables more quickly with less chance spoilage.

I have only mixed Greens Plus with water or juice. It has a pleasant taste and I usually mix it with water.

You will have instructions with uour dehydrator. Recipes? You really don't need any. ANY fresh fruit can be dried. I've dried tomatoes. I even took small pieces of turkey, sprinkled a little seasoning on meat and made turkey jerky.

I haven't tried pureeing fruit specifically, but as long as the hot fruit is soft and cored/pitted, you should be fine. I use it on boiled vegetables in soups all the time. I would advise turning off the heat and partially covering the pot while you are pureeing.

I think it will be fine. I mixed mine with some strawberries and yogurt and a little water and it was good. You might have to play with the proportions a bit to get the taste and consistency right. Hope it's good!

I always mix it with a "smoothie." I have never tried mixing it with water or a juice as I suspect it has a strong taste if taken by itself.

Most ripe fruit will purée just fine without having to cook it. The more dense fruits and veg you should roast off In the oven or steam them till soft.

I'm sure u can dehydrate kale easily. Don't know how they'll come out compared to the oven. Time wise. It really depends, every couple hours you'll want to move the order of the trays and just check the dryness then. You can't really overdo it so it's not a huge deal.

Yes and no. If you have one simple dish like spaghetti then yes but if you have meat, rice and veggies and you don't want it all mixed together then no. I mainly use it for soups.

Not with this. This would only be for dried items like beans, popcorn, macaroni. Fresh Vegetables require heat to kill bacteria that can lead to botulism.

If it is too thick add something to it. Like apple which is a little more watery. I always combine fruits and veggies some thick with some thinner ones. hope this helps. I also add whole organic plan yogurt which thins it out too.

My friend dehydrates zucchini slices to use in soups and even after cooking two days they hold together nicely so I have started dehydrating them to use in my soups because with them in the vegetable soup I didn't miss the meat... I am going to try doing that with the noodle cuts too

Yes. You can do onions, carrots and other veggies just fine. Done it many times with no isssues.

I use water and not milk. Just because less calories for myself. I also mix all things like fruit bananas, berries etc. And yes I use a blender to get a good fine mix. But you can shake it without fruits and drink it but depending on mixer it is a little work to get chunks out.
