WHAT TO DO AFTER SOLAR DRYING OF THE VEGETABLES

After drying vegetables, let them cool completely, then condition them in a jar for a week to check for leftover moisture.

Store them in airtight glass jars or vacuum-sealed bags in a cool, dark place, or rehydrate and grind them into powder for cooking. 

Conditioning and Storing Dried Vegetables

Cool down: Let the dried vegetables cool fully before touching them. Warm food creates condensation in storage.
Condition: Put the pieces in a clean glass jar for 7 to 10 days. Shake it daily. Look for moisture or fog on the glass. If you see fog, dry the vegetables longer.
Seal airtight: Put the dry pieces in clean glass jars, plastic containers, or vacuum bags.
Keep dark and cool: Put your containers in a dark, dry, and cool spot to keep them good for months or years. Watch this video to learn different simple ways to rehydrate your dried vegetables:

Using Dried Vegetables in Meals

Soups and stews: Toss hard or soft dry veggie pieces right into a hot pot of soup or stew. They soak up liquid as it cooks.
Soak in water: Soak root veggies in cold or hot water for 20 to 90 minutes to make them soft before cooking
Make a powder: Grind your dry vegetables in a blender to make a fine green or vegetable powder. Add this powder to sauces, gravies, or rice for extra flavor and vitamins
