2) number of trays with food being dried
3) volume of food being dried
4) moisture or humidity in your environment
5) your preferences of drying for each type of dried
food
It is recommended to:
•
Check your food every hour.
•
Rotate and/or re-stack your trays if you notice
uneven drying.
•
Label food with contents dried, date and weight
before drying. It will also be helpful to note the
drying time for future reference.
•
Pretreated food will give the best effect in drying.
•
Correct food storage after drying also will help to
keep food in good quality and save the nutrients.
STORAGE

Food can be kept longer if stored in a cool, dry
and dark place.

Never store food directly in a metal container.
•
Avoid containers that "breathe" or have a weak
seal.
•
