Dehydrated foods

Overall, which fruit has the broadest vitamin content that will survive dehydration? Getting a dehydrator is looking to be my next major purchase. Being way behind in the Game, to get even partly done will require careful choosing, and would appreciate the resources here to do so.

There are other ways of dehydrating other than electricity, but the air of your current geographic local might leave a bit of a carbon monoxide foot print in your mouth.

Understood. Native Americans made jerky by cutting meat into thin strips and hanging it on racks , usually with smoky fires around to keep away flies. Im minded of an old episode of GOOD EATS on the (defunct?) Food Network
where a box fan, bungee cords , furnace filters and paper towels were used to dry jerky. Done outdoors in the vegas climes, and jerky could be had in 12 hours or so.

But the 'how' isn't the question, it's a matter of 'what'. I'd like to know what fruits or vegetables dehydrate with the least loss of vitamins and minerals.
