Oven drying is a method used to remove moisture from food items, enhancing their shelf life and flavor. This process involves placing food, such as fruits or vegetables, in an oven set at a low temperature, typically between 140°F to 200°F (60°C to 93°C). The heat circulates, evaporating moisture while preserving the food's nutrients. This technique is popular for making snacks like dried fruits and herbs. It is a simple and effective way to prepare food for long-term storage without the need for preservatives. Properly dried food can be stored in airtight containers for months, making it convenient for later use.
