sun dried
Cured by daylight
Sun dried describes food preserved by exposure to sunlight rather than artificial heat.
Sun-dried tomatoes are the most common example—intensely flavored and slightly chewy from slow dehydration in the sun.
The method is ancient, used for fruits, fish, and meat.
Also spelled sun-dried and sundried.
