Gasping, I looked down at the shrivelled and dried beet chips and realised just how many carbohydrates I was consuming. Three medium sized beets shrunken down to no more than a meagre handful, much less than a small packet of chips, we're talking a lot of carbs in one small portion. It's easy enough now to buy dried vegetables and fruit, but making my own gives me that rosy glow of domesticity. Some people swear by a dehydrator, but I don't have one or the inclination to produce bucket loads of dried things, just a few small attempts is good enough. It's incredible how the beets diminish.
