Save Money on Your Food Bills and Food Storage
Sun drying is a natural, economical method of food preservation that maintains a
high level of flavor and nutrients and provides an easy-to-store supply of your
favorite items. You can dry everything you see dried on the grocery shelf: Dried
tomatoes, apricots, pineapple, peaches, prunes, pears, dates, garlic, onion, peppers,
spices, raisins, meats, fish, and much more. The sun will turn meat into tasty and
nutritious jerky which can be stored indefinitely.
Dry and store surplus garden and orchard produce. The freshest, tastiest, and most
nutritious food often comes from your own gardens. High quality fruits and
vegetables are seasonal and only available for a few weeks or months each year. Sun
drying is the key to extending the summer’s precious bounty throughout the year.
Expand your garden and grow more of the things you’d like to enjoy year-round,
such as tomatoes.
Reducing the cost and amount of energy you use for food storage can help your
budget. Sun drying is easier and requires less energy than canning. Freezing is
commonly viewed as the most convenient preservation method, but freezers require
a constant source of electricity and food will be vulnerable to power outages and
mechanical failures.
Most dried vegetables can be easily rehydrated in soups or by including a bit more
water in recipes such as zucchini bread. For great additions to stir-fry and pasta
dishes, you also can rehydrate vegetables by soaking them in water for 10 minutes to
an hour.
You can mix dried fruits with things such as hot cereal or granola to sweeten and
increase nutrients. Sun dried fruits can be blended with seeds, nuts, and grains to
make nourishing energy bars. Sun dried tomatoes taste sweet and are delicious when
eaten plain, made into a tomato pesto, or marinated in olive oil and garlic.
Sun drying can improve the flavor of some foods. Bananas are a delicious fruit, but
dried bananas are delightful. A Roma tomato is very bland, but when dried, it’s a real
tasty treat.
