Dehydrated Vegetables

What Are Dehydrated Vegetables?

Dehydrated vegetables are fresh vegetables that have undergone a moisture removal process to extend their shelf life while retaining their natural flavors, nutrients, and colors. This process involves techniques like air drying, freeze-drying, or vacuum drying, resulting in lightweight, easy-to-store vegetable products. Dehydrated vegetables are a convenient, healthy, and versatile option for cooking, snacking, and food production.

1. Powders: Ground vegetables such as garlic powder, onion powder, or spinach powder, ideal for seasoning and blending.

2. Flakes: Popular for soups, sauces, and ready-to-eat meals, these include potato flakes, carrot flakes, and cabbage flakes.

3. Slices: Thinly sliced dehydrated vegetables like bell peppers, zucchini, and mushrooms.

4. Chunks or Dices: Perfect for stews, casseroles, and frozen meals, including diced onions, tomatoes, and celery.
