The method which is used for preserving fruits and vegetables by evaporating the water present in them and maintaining the same taste is known as the dehydration process. When the water is eliminated from vegetables or fruits, the weight drops from the normal and the product can be stored in reduced space. Also, due to less weight and less storage, dehydrated vegetables are easy to transport from one place to another.
How dehydration can increase the lifespan of vegetables?
When moisture is eliminated from the vegetables, the growth of certain bacteria like shigella, salmonella, monocytogenes slows down. Due to no moisture, no food decay will occur. And ultimately the life span of food will increase up to days or even weeks.
Are dehydrated vegetables safe?
Dehydrated vegetables are safe for every individual. They are added in salads, smoothies, oatmeal to further nourish the food. Also, the calories which you will obtain from dehydrated vegetables will be the same as compared to the fresh vegetables (except vitamins like B and A).
