dried foods
Dehydrated shelf staples
Dried foods are foods preserved by removing moisture, which inhibits bacterial growth and extends shelf life.
The category includes fruits, vegetables, meats (jerky), grains, and legumes.
Drying is among the oldest preservation methods, predating refrigeration by millennia.
