Drying is an old technique used to preserve fresh fruits and vegetables by removing their water content. This method has been used for centuries as a highly effective way to extend the life of produce. Drying is a food preservation method that removes moisture from food to the point where microorganisms such as mold, yeast and bacteria cannot grow. This method of preservation is suitable for fruits, herbs, vegetables and mushrooms.
There are many reasons why dried products are becoming increasingly popular in the food industry, making them an ideal choice for companies looking to create healthier products for the end consumer. Rich in vitamins, minerals and antioxidants, dried fruits and vegetables are a concentrated source of nutrients and calories.
What are the benefits of eating dried products:

1. Source of antioxidants
   Dried fruits are rich in plant compounds with protective antioxidant properties, including anthocyanins and phenols. These compounds have many different health benefits, such as improved blood flow and lower risk of certain diseases, including heart disease and type 2 diabetes.
2. Rich source of trace elements
   Because dried fruits contain less water, they are a more concentrated source of vitamins and minerals than fresh ones. Fruits and vegetables are the basis for any healthy diet. When dried products are consumed, they quickly and easily take the recommended 5 servings of fruits and vegetables per day. This improves the quality of your nutrition and your body absorbs all the micronutrients it needs.
3. Source of useful fibre
   Dried fruits contain approximately two to three times more fiber than their fresh counterparts. Most of us don't eat enough fiber, and fiber is very important for maintaining digestive function and controlling the rate of digestion and nutrient absorption. Higher fruit and vegetable fiber intake helps to reduce the risk of cardiovascular disease.
4. Beneficial for bone health
   Studies have shown that prunes may be beneficial for bone health, including slowing bone loss that has been observed in middle and old age. The high levels of bone-healthy nutrients such as vitamin K and boron in dried fruits, such as prunes, may be one solution to these problems.

These days, the market is saturated with a huge number of foods with preservatives or, conversely, with a very short shelf life, and there is nothing more frustrating than watching food spoil and have to be thrown away. Dried produce, on the other hand, has a much longer shelf life (with proper storage and packaging) without containing unhealthy additives. The longer shelf life of food that is bought in the family means that nothing goes to waste, which saves time, money and effort, and besides, you always eat healthy and healthy.
