Drying Vegetables 

Some  vegetables  are  quite  good  dried.  Others  lose  their  appeal  and  are  better  frozen  or  fresh.  Some 

vegetables  are  far  better  frozen  than  dried,  if  you  must  preserve  them.  Vegetables  have  a  low  acid  and 
sugar content that makes them more subject to spoilage, and tend to have far shorter shelf life than dried 
fruits.
