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.
