dried with minimum nutrients loss.
Due to this, you can enjoy fruit, vegetables or mushrooms
cooked without preservatives all the year round. You can dry
herbs and herbal flowers, fruit rolls, meat jerky and many
other foods.
PRETREATMENT OF FRUIT
Pretreatment of fruit helps to save natural color, taste and flavour.
Here are few useful tips how to prepare fruit for drying:
Take 1/4 cup juice (natural will be prefered). Keep in mind, that
juice must match to prepared fruit. E.g. apple juice must be added
when you dry apples.
Add 2 cups of water to juice and dip pretreated fruit (see
"Fruit
pretreatment table"
) for approximately 2 minutes into prepared
liquid. Fruit may also be immersed into fruit juice with honey.
Addings
Prepared products may also be sprinkled with poppy seeds,
sesame seeds or coconut crisps for making the taste piquant.
