1/8
Food drying is a very simple, ancient skill. It requires a safe place to spread the food where dry
air in large quantities can pass over and beside thin pieces. Sun is often used to provide the hot
dry air. Dry, clean air including dry cold air from any source will dehydrate food.

Draping food over branches or spreading it on wide shallow baskets on the roof is an old
widespread tradition still in use around the world. Many other arrangements have been used to
support a thin spread of food pieces. Some options that have been used are to thread the
pieces on a cord or a stick and hang it over a fire, wood stove or from the rafters. Or one can
bundle herbs or strawflowers and suspend them from bushes or a door knob or nails in rooms
with good ventilation. Screen doors placed across chairs or sheets hung between clothes lines
or possibly on a quilting frame have also been used. Vans, clean garages, or backseats of cars
can be safe places to spread trays of drying food just as well as specially constructed cabinets.
In the pioneer tradition food might be spread in the attic or in an upstairs room with screened
windows wide open.
Modern variations are to build special enclosed drying racks or cabinets to expose the food to a
flow of dry air heated by electricity, propane or solar radiation are a modern variation. These are
refinements not essential to the basic process but handy, particularly in the humid tropics or
when the rainy season coincides with the harvest.
Natural ventilation may be used in dry areas such as the American southwest or the Arctic. If
necessary, the drying capacity of the air can be increased by heating it, which lowers the
relative humidity. While any source of heat may be used, solar energy is free and usually
plentiful in season. A solar heating panel screened on both ends with air intake on one end and
opening to the food at the other is universally used to solar heat air. Hot dry air may be moved
over the food by use of natural convection or a solar chimney or a fan run on solar electricity.
Trays need not be bulky and in fact lightweight ones with open screening block less airflow and
so are preferable. Screening may be woven out of local materials or may be commercial screen
of non-toxic materials such as nylon and some plastics. Fiberglass window screening is not
recommended as it is coated with vinyl that may contain flame retardants and other chemicals.
Open weave organic fibers and nylon material works fairly well, but can be difficult to clean. The

usual commercial bridal veil is too fragile to last as screening on the trays but may be spread
over top to control insects. Avoid screen materials that may contain toxic chemicals or additives.
Galvanized metal screens or aluminum or copper screens are not recommended as potentially
toxic salts can migrate into the food. Top quality food drying screens are made from food-safe
plastic screening, such as polypropylene, which is available from Living Food Dehydrators and
Sunworks Technologies. (See Bibliography)
Trays, if used, are sized to comfortable dimensions (24" x 24" or 20" x 30", for instance). Then a
supporting rack is made to that size. Air flow is essential so it is important that trays be
sufficiently far apart to ventilate properly -- 6 to 8 inches if using natural ventilation. Less for
forced ventilation. Tray frames should be light, but strong -- 1 1/4 inch x 1/4 inch or 3/4 inch x
1/2 inch small wood strips are sufficient for most purposes. The wood strips for the tray frames
are cut to the full length and the full width of the tray. They are overlaid at the corners, notched if
they are very thick, glued and screwed. Or they may be nailed with small nails which are bent
over on the under side and pounded flat. Screen is stapled on. It may be secured with silicon
sealant or thin lightweight wood or both.
One or two heavier screens made from 1" x 2" pine and covered with galvanized hardware
cloth, are useful for drying non-food items -- clothing, wool, kindling and so forth. For support of
extra heavy loads, rigid galvanized trays may be used under food safe screen. Galvanized
screens may also be used to make fruit leathers. The sauce is protected from the galvanizedmetal by a sheet of Tedlar or of regular kitchen plastic taped to the frame.
Indoors, it is easy to use screened trays placed around on chairs or saw horses. No further
equipment may be needed. Outside, the food must be protected against insects and animals
and moved or covered in case of rain or blowing dust. Exposed trays also must be carried in at
night and out again in the morning to prevent rehydration from the dew even in the desert.
A single layer of trays outdoors may be covered with sheets of cotton, glass or plastic through
which the sun falls on the food. Sunlight heats the food driving out moisture. The moisture-laden
air falls down from the bottom of the screened trays. In this generic design, the food is usually
exposed to direct sunlight. Direct sunlight destroys some of the more fragile vitamins and
enzymes and the food loses color. The better quality food is produced by flat screen designs
having a dark sheet of cloth or metal that shades the food. This metal shield slows the drying

but these designs are still very productive. Their disadvantages are they spread out over a
larger area of ground than the cabinets and they tend to blow over in gusty wind.
One simple, open-air dryer design that can be used indoors or outside is called the Kerr-Cole Z-
dryer. This is a rack of trays 6 to 8 inches apart stacked in a frame. The frame of open racks is
braced with a diagonal piece of wood forming a Z. (See the bibliography). The frame can be
sized to fit an available space such as the back of a car, or some place in a well-ventilated
room, etc. Also Z-dryers also can stand in the yard, optionally covered with a light cloth. Or one
can be fitted to go into a solar heated, ventilated cabinet such as a downdraft solar food dryer.
Without increasing drying time very much such an open rack may be covered with a lightweight
cloth to protect from insects. Ants and other crawling insects may be blocked from the trays of
food by placing the feet of a rack in containers of water. Such moats can be used with any of the
stacked designs. If ants and some other insects invade the drying racks, it is difficult to remove
them. However, they will go home at night. Protective measure instituted early the next morning
can block their return.
UPDRAFT SOLAR DRYER designs are the most frequently seen cabinet form. In this design,
the hot air flows upward through a solar heat collection trough and enters the bottom of a
cabinet underneath the food. The dry air rises through the trays and around the food, exiting
through a vent at the top or near the top of the shadowed side. (See the Bibliography -- Valdez)
The theoretical basis for this design is that hot air rises and therefore when heated, the air flowsnaturally upward through the trays of food.
DIRECTLY HEATED SOLAR cabinet dryers allow the sun to directly heat and dry the food
inside an enclosed one-piece cabinet. Direct heating tends to be very efficient and produces fast
drying. Proper air flow is essential to achieve maximum performance.
Solar food dryers can be hybridized so they continue to dry during cloudy weather. Removing a
tray or two from the bottom, a very small flame from a 16 oz. or picnic size propane burner can
be placed on the bottom. Alternately a small electric heating unit may be used. Heat rises and
triggers the same effect as the solar heat. It is important to avoid overheating the food,
maintaining temperatures below 120 degrees Fahrenheit.

A solar box cooker being used as a solar food dryerFood drying is
not difficult, although some books give considerable details on handling each food differently.
Special guidelines are needed for handling jerky and fish. (Seebibliographyand your own
recipes.) General guidelines for fruits and vegetables follow:
Good quality food cut in thin pieces, not more than about 1/4 to 3/8 inch thick) Spread thinly on trays initially so there is a third to a half of the screen area clear for the
passage of air. Can be more compact after the first moisture is gone.
Label all food on the trays and carry the label along through processing to storage.Thick vegetables need to be blanched or lightly pre-cooked. Leafy vegetables may be wilted
slightly with steam, or dried directly from the garden. Cook potatoes and green beans
completely. Fruit is pretreated by dipping in quite sour lemon water, or Ascorbic Acid (Vit.C)
2000mg/quart. After a short soak, the fruit is drained and spread on trays. This retards
browning. (Later, the sour soak water flavored by the fruit can be used as a concentrate for
making cool drinks.) Sugar, honey or salt are optional. Sulfuring is no longer used in most
homes due to the possibility of breathing the hazardous fumes and allergic reactions to sulfur
compounds. It has been found to be unnecessary anyway.
To test if food is sufficiently dried, remove a piece and let it cool. Vegetables should be brittle.
Fruits because of their sugar content may never get beyond a firm bend or leather quality. If
they do become brittle, it is o.k. They just need a little more soaking or chewing time for full
flavor to develop.
All dried foods may be pasteurized after drying except for the greens and herbs. Spread dried
food no more than an inch thick on a metal tray and cover it with another dark metal tray. A
solar oven is excellent for this. Place it in an oven at temperature between 200 and 220 degrees
F. for 10 minutes. Stir and leave another 10 minutes. Do not overtreat. Cool and package
immediately. Store in a dry location as cool as possible.

For people on the move or with limited storage space, plastic freezer bags are safe, durable and
easily transported. Food should be put in small clean bags, labeled and dated. The smaller bags
can be grouped into larger freezer bags, giving larvae two layers to penetrate if they attempt to
invade. For those who avoid plastic, glass jars or metal containers with tight lids do well. Pack to
eliminate air.
Indians in the American Southwest sometimes stored dried food in large earthen jars packed
very tightly and covered with leather tied on tightly. These jars were kept on the roof and so
were subject to low temperatures at night. Others stored dried food in hay-lined pits lined with
flat rocks to deter rodents. These pits were so deep a person had to be assisted to get out.
These were covered with leather or boards as a rain protection.
All stored food should be checked periodically for weevils. Weevils are a small, relatively cleaninsect. Infestations come from eggs hatched in your storage area. They grow to about 1/2 inch
long and then go into a small webbed cocoon. The mature form is a thin, gray-brown moth
about 1/2 inch long. Infestation can be controlled by eliminating the adult moths before they lay
their eggs. Once hatched, the larvae feed only on your clean food. The form most prevalent in
the USA is found as white, soft-bodied active "worms" with dark heads. Since they feed only in
the stored food, they do not usually carry disease or toxic contamination. Even if the larvae
themselves are not visible, weevil infestation is easily recognized. Small brown granules in the
bottom of the packages or 1/2 inch bits of white webs indicate infestation. The samepasteurization method can be used to kill adult and immature weevils. Treat and then sift out the
residue. Pasteurized dried goods rarely show infestation if stored in airtight containers. If stored
in bread bags, they almost always will.
Cooked weevil infested food is usually safe to serve and eat if food is scarce. Some cooks on
seeing larva facetiously say "Just a little clean protein ... God's gift to vegetarians." But
prevention is the best policy. Clean, quick handling and good packaging is the key along with
storing at the lowest available room temperature. Below 70 degrees there is little or no weevil
activity.
So drying and storing food is a simple process. Using dried food can be equally simple. Fruits or
vegetables may be eaten out of hand. Or fruit may be rinsed with water, drained briefly, and
placed in a closed jar in the refrigerator to soften. Any of the dried produce may be covered with
boiling water to slightly above the food level. Food should then be tossed to insure all parts of

the dried bits are in contact with water. Most foods are allowed to stand for 15 minutes (equal
parts packed food and water) before being added to standard recipes. Heavier pieces may
require more time to rehydrate to the center. Easier yet, they may be just thrown in dry by the
handful into soups or casseroles. Crisp dried foods may be pulverized in a blender and added
by the spoonful to recipes for breads, soups, casseroles, sauces, etc.
For instance, greens can be used as a regular dish by pouring boiled water over them and then
continuing steaming for a few additional minutes depending on the type of green. Dried squash
and small pieces of potatoes can be covered with boiling water plus about 1/2 inch depth. They
are then allowed to stand for 20 to 30 minutes to become moistened to the center before
starting to cook. Larger pieces of potatoes require soaking for several hours.
Nutritionally, dried food is ranked by the USDA as better than canning, just under freezing. Thetastes are related to the food, but there is some uniqueness in their flavor and texture. This is
similar to the differences between fresh, frozen, and canned foods...another variation in taste.
In conclusion, select good food, wash, slice, dip or blanch, spread on trays or other drying
arrangement and allow to dry. Pasteurize, package with a label showing the date and anything
special about the food and store in a cool dark dry location as much as possible.. Use in
rotation, oldest packages first. If there is excess, it can be pulverized in a blender and added to
many foods: breads, casseroles, soups, gravies, sauces.
Stored dried food is prepared every growing season. Dried food should be used within the next
months as the nutritional value slowly drops over time. It is customarily eaten the following
winter and then any remainder composed as soon as new foods become available. As you
enjoy solar food drying, you are joining generations who have preserved foods in this manner
over the ages. Please pass this simple basic knowledge long to your children or community.

UC Davis team demonstrating the solar dryer.
February 2011: A group from the UC Davis Program for International EnergyTechnologies installed a solar box dryer for drying fruit inNicaragua. They worked with the
local organizationsGrupo Fenixand theSolar Women of Totogalpa. They also connected
with students and faculty at the Alternative Energy Program at Nicaragua's National
Engineering University, and the directors of the new dried fruit export company SolSimple.
They plan to send a follow-up trip the summer of 2011.More Information...

in a cheap way and market value will be increased. Through the fast drying process the
farmers can raise harvesting production and therefore able to generate additional income.
This means up to 50% more productivity. The time needed for collecting firewood before,
can now be used for various other activities and deforestation is reduced as well.
Currently 30 solar dryers have been installed and 920 farmers have been trained in the
use of these. Thirty craftsmen have also been trained in the construction and installation
of these solar dryers. The project contributes to an overall improvement of living
conditions, family nutrition, environment protection and income generation. At the moment
the project is implemented in the Rift Valley in Kenya and has the potential to be
duplicated in other areas.[1]
