dried vegetables

Moisture-free garden goods

Dried vegetables are vegetables that have been dehydrated to remove moisture, extending their shelf life and concentrating their flavor.

The drying process—whether by sun, air, or machine—shrinks the vegetables and intensifies their taste.

Common examples include sun-dried tomatoes, dried mushrooms, and dried peppers.

Most require rehydrating before use: Soak the dried vegetables in warm water for twenty minutes.
