People have been preserving food through drying for thousands of years. Because P dried food yields maximum quantity for the least volume, it has always been popular among hikers and campers. Dried food, however, is not just for people who enjoy the outdoors. Today, more and more people are eating dried food as a healthier snack alternative to candy and chips. Because dried food can be stored for long periods without spoilage, it makes good economic sense, too.
