How much product remains after drying
This calculator estimates the drying yield of apples, mushrooms, berries, herbs and other products from fresh ingredients.
It is useful when you want to estimate in advance how many jars, bags or containers you will need for the dried result.
Drying yield calculator
Estimate dried yield, moisture loss and a recommended drying range.

Actual yield depends on ripeness, slice thickness and starting moisture.
Do not overdry herbs or apples — it is better to check them several times near the end of the process.
What is useful to open next
After checking drying yield, people often continue to the dehydration section or to recipes for fruit leather, dried fruit and herbs.
The real yield depends on variety, ripeness and moisture content. The calculator is a helpful guide, but not a substitute for practice.
