LOL - no surprise that we differ here. Yes, I agree that fresh is best, but I find that drying foods is so easy and takes way less time than I used to put into canning; it is my preferred method of food storage. I dehydrate pretty much anything and store in my canning jars. It takes up way less space than freezing and has a shelf life of several years when stored properly. Rehydrating is often literally as easy as making a cup of tea - boiling water into my tea cup and boiling water into the dried "whatever". It's definitely not for everyone, but I still find learning all the various aspect to be quite fun and fascinating.
