Question

Name two food materials which are preserved by sun- drying method in our homes.

Answer 1

Drying means removal of water from food materials which are to be prepared.It reduces the water
content of food material and makes them dry.In the absence of moisture,the food does not get spoiled
because the micro-organism which spoil food do not grow in dry food.

The vegetables like spinach,methi leaves,cauliflower,peas are preserved in our homes by the sun-
drying method.These dries vegetables can be stored safely for a long time and used whenever
required.
