Dehytray™: Solar Food Dehydrator
The Dehytray™
The Dehytray solar food dehydrator makes it easy to feed your family with healthy, nutrient dense foods free from preservatives and added sugars.
Fruits, vegetables and meats do not lose their natural flavor or nutrition, unlike in electric dryers or air fryers.
What will you make?

Prepare chips by drying sliced potatoes, carrots, beets and much more. You can also prepare dried fruit snacks by drying sliced fruit like strawberries or bananas. Sun-dried tomatoes are a must-try!

Our Mission
We bring food security to millions of families and smallholder farmers by providing a sustainable drying solution. The drying process is solar powered, and so, mitigates against climate change impacts from fossil fueled systems. We launched Dehytech East Africa to help smallholder farms in Kenya meet their food drying needs. Every purchase helps us make the Dehytray more affordable to food insecure communities around the globe.
Let customers speak for us
Summer 2021 was enjoyable because of my new Dehytray. I was able to quickly dry drumstick leaves, mint leaves, curry leaves, and fruits like strawberries, banana, apple, and vegetables like beans. I powdered the dry leaves and use them in my daily cooking. Tip: Drumstick leaf powder gives immunity. As for the dried fruits, I add them to my cereal bowl. I am constantly thinking of new things to dry so that they are always available to me in my kitchen.
I really had fun!!! :)
