Farm and Home Drying of Fruits and Vegetables (open access)

Farm and Home Drying of Fruits and Vegetables

"Imperative necessity demands nation-wide conservation of those portions of our food crops which have heretofore been permitted to go to waste.

Drying offers a simple, convenient, and economical method for preserving food materials and permits the carrying over of the surplus into periods in which fresh fruits and vegetables are expensive or unobtainable.... Directions for the preparation, drying, and subsequent storage and care of the dried products are given fully for each of the more important fruits and vegetables." -- p. 2
