Sun dried food / myLot

Dubai, United Arab Emirates

September 14, 2018 12:31am CST

This recipe I'm looking forward to preparing calls for sun-dried tomatoes. Living in Dubai, UAE, we have excellent exposure to the sun which I want to make use of. However, it is usually dusty to be leaving food out in the open. Any suggestions on how I might naturally sun dry such food like garlic n ginger (for making powder of the same )

You have to peel and slice the garlic (same for the ginger). Place the slices on a sheet, cover with a net and leave them in a sunny area until they are fully dried.

@sonorous Yes, a mesh net is fine.

There is a process called vacuum drying. You can dry fruits, vegetables and others without spoiling the color and taste. This one is okra or lady finger.

Doesn't that require some sort of machine for doing so??

Its a simple machine, like frying but without the oil.
