At a very basic level, dehydration requires sun and wind. Thus, food dehydrators, which incorporated natural elements, go back thousands of years to hunter gatherer societies. Evidence of dried fruit, grains and vegetables have also been found in ancient Mesopotamia societies. The first man made dehydrators are traced back to the 1800's and 1900's.
