Did you know that… unlike other vegetables, tomatoes can be preserved for future use by drying them in the sun rather than in artificial dehydrators.
To do this, medium-sized, dense, and meaty fruits are selected. They are cut into 4-6 wedges, leaving them connected at the top (stem end) of the fruit.
The tomatoes are placed cut-side up on wooden boards and set out in the sun.
You can also dry vegetables like carrots, having grated them first, as well as most leafy greens and culinary herbs.
