One of the best ways of preserving fruits is by dehydrating them. Dehydrated fruit lasts far longer than fresh fruit and they are a delicious and nutritious treat. The trick is finding the best fruit to dry out.
\nApricots have a wonderful way of maintaining their flavour and sweetness even after they are dehydrated. They can be enjoyed as a snack or they can be added to various savoury and sweet recipes. Peaches, like apricots, also maintain their flavour once dried out. If you want to rehydrate them and add something extra, you only need to soak them in some water and sprinkle some cinnamon on top.
\nTomatoes are usually thought of as a vegetable but, technically, they are fruit. Slice your tomatoes and let them dry in the sun or in your oven. They can then be used on all sorts of dishes including salads. If you like, you can make a blend of herbs and olive oil to brush onto the tomato slices before drying them out.
\nApples
\nWhen drying apples, it’s best to peel them first. They can then be cored and cut into thin wedges before drying. They tend to be a bit more chewy but they are delicious and can be used in a wide variety of recipes.
\nBananas
\nLike apples, you will need to remove the peel before slicing and dehydrating. Make sure that you cut the slices quite thin because bananas become crispy once dried out. Add to your cereal or enjoy as a snack in between meals.
\nBerries
\nStrawberries are sweet even once dehydrated and they are an excellent ingredient in smoothies and trail mixes. Raspberries and strawberries can be used in some delicious dessert recipes and they make fantastic snacks too, of course. Like the other berries, blueberries are very sweet once dehydrated. They are also crunchy and they taste great with yogurt and breakfast cereal. Cherries are also often dehydrated and added to scones. You can also add them to various cocktails. Let them soak up the drink to rehydrate and this will add plenty more flavour too.
\nDates
\nAnother scrumptious sweet treat, dried dates can be used in various vegan dessert recipes. They can be used in the actual recipe and as a garnish too.
\nThese are just some of the top choices. Some others include grapes, cranberries, and figs. Enjoy the fun of experimenting with different types of fruit before choosing your favourites.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
