Dryness Test 

Fruits, if dried properly, should have a pliable and leathery texture with little 

moisture (less than 20%). It is a frequent problem that people over dry fruit, 

this can lead to a poor taste and the fruit having less nutritional value. 

Therefore to achieve the best possible taste from dehydrated food ensure 

the correct drying time is followed. 

Vegetables should be chewy and brittle however different vegetables can 

vary in texture. 

Storage of foods 

It is vital to store de-hydrated food correctly in order to maintain the quality 

and taste of the product. Ensure that all dried foods are stored in a cool 

dark place; the cooler the food is kept the longer the optimal quality will be 

maintained. 

If it is possible please store the food in a refrigerator or freezer, alternatively 

you can store dried foods in a cool place in your home. 

Be aware that light causes the quality and nutritional value of the food to 

deteriorate. 

When storing the food it is recommended to store it in a sealed bag or a 

darkened container. 

Storing foods 

The naturally high sugar and acid content contained in many fruits allows them to 

be stored for longer periods of time. 

When packaged and stored correctly most fruit can last for about a year whilst 

vegetables can be stored for up to about 6 months. 

Do not consume fruits and vegetables that show any signs of deterioration. 

 

Re-hydrating foods 

Foods that have been dehydrated can be re-hydrated in water, this can be 

performed in 3 ways:
