sun drying
Quick Summary
Sun-drying is a method of preserving food by drying it using the heat of the sun. This process removes water content from foods, which helps to prevent microbial contamination and enzymatic activity. Dehydration, or drying, has been practiced for a long time and has been applied to a wide range of food products, including fruits, vegetables, and meats. While drying is an effective preservation method, it's important to ensure proper sanitation and storage to prevent foodborne illnesses when the product is rehydrated.12
