Blanching is a form of pretreatment which can be used for vegetables. - Page 9 Operating Instructions PROCEDURE Fruits and vegetables selected for drying should be the highest quality possible - fresh and fully ripened. Wilted or inferior produce will not make a satisfactory dried product. Unripe produce lacks flavor and color. Overripe produce may be tough and fibrous or soft and mushy.
