Dried citrus refers to the process of removing moisture from citrus fruits, such as oranges, lemons, and limes. This method preserves the fruit, extending its shelf life while concentrating its flavor and sweetness. Dried citrus can be used in various culinary applications, including baking, cooking, and as a garnish. The drying process can be achieved through several methods, including air drying, oven drying, or using a food dehydrator. Dried citrus is often enjoyed as a snack, added to teas, or used in spice blends. It retains many of the nutritional benefits of fresh citrus, such as vitamin C and antioxidants.
