Example... Instead of dehydrating spaghetti sauce I've been making it with powdered tomatoes. My question, does a person have to drink more water when using things powdered like that? I've been trying it out a lot this winter and I can't get enough water. Coincidence? I was on blood thinners up until last week. I like the powder because spaghetti sauce for instance took me fourteen hours to dehydrate and still weighed more than my powdered concoction. I'm trying powdered and freeze dried cheese, powdered butter... All kinds of stuff I've found.

I have to go out of my way to drink enough water. On trips I drink tons... And I feel better typically then. My water is kind of irony, so I fill a jug across the lake at my dad's, now sisters place. The water there is awesome.

Tomato powder is dehydrated tomatoes ground up. Perhaps it's the sodium in the prepared sauce that. Check the ingredients. 14 hours seems long but not a lot.
