Natural drying methods refer to techniques that use ambient air and sunlight to remove moisture from materials, such as fruits, herbs, and textiles. These methods are environmentally friendly and often require no electricity or special equipment. Common techniques include air drying, where items are hung or spread out in a well-ventilated area, and sun drying, which involves placing items in direct sunlight to accelerate moisture evaporation. Another popular natural drying method is dehydration, which can be done using a dehydrator or simply by placing food in a warm, dry location. These methods help preserve the flavor and nutrients of the items while reducing spoilage. Natural drying is often used in food preservation and crafting, making it a versatile technique.
