Dehydration
Dried Vegetables and Vegetable Blends
Pantry staples made from tomatoes, zucchini, carrots, beetroot, peppers, onions, garlic, mushrooms, and homemade soup blends.
Dried vegetables are a compact base for soups, stews, sauces, and quick homemade blends. They take up little space, store well, and are especially useful for everyday cooking.
The most common dehydration problems with vegetables are residual moisture, slices that are too thick or uneven, flavor loss, and poor storage after drying.
