This is a list of notable dried foods. Food drying is a method of food preservation that works by removing water from the food, which inhibits the growth of bacteria and has been practiced worldwide since ancient times to preserve food. Where or when dehydration as a food preservation technique was invented has been lost to time, but the earliest known practice of food drying is 12,000 BC by inhabitants of the modern Middle East and Asia.[1]

Various bouillon cubes
  • Bouillon cube is dehydrated bouillon (French for broth) or stock formed into a small cube about 15 mm wide. It is typically made by dehydrating vegetables, meat stock, a small portion of fat, salt, and seasonings, and shaping them into a small cube. Vegetarian and vegan types are also made.
  • Instant breakfast typically refers to breakfast food products manufactured in a powdered form, which is generally prepared with the addition of milk and then consumed as a beverage.[2][3] An example includes Carnation Instant Breakfast, which was introduced in 1964.[4]

  • Powdered eggs are fully dehydrated eggs made using spray drying in the same way that powdered milk is made. Powdered eggs have a storage life of 5 to 10 years when stored without oxygen in a cool environment.[6] Another dried egg product is freeze-dried eggs, which can be shelf stable for up to 25 years.

  • Powdered milk is a manufactured dairy product made by evaporating milk to dryness. In modern times, powdered milk is usually made by spray drying[9] nonfat skimmed milk, whole milk, buttermilk, or whey. Pasteurized milk is first concentrated in an evaporator to around 50% milk solids. The resulting concentrated milk is then sprayed into a heated chamber where the water almost instantly evaporates, leaving fine particles of powdered milk solids.

T

  • Tarhana is a Central Asian dried soup.

Plant foods

Dried fruit

Dried fruit is fruit from which the majority of the original water content has been removed, either naturally, through sun drying, or through the use of specialized dryers or dehydrators. Dried fruit has a long tradition of use dating back to the fourth millennium BC in Mesopotamia, and is prized because of its sweet taste, nutritive value, and long shelf life.

L

  • Li hing mui is salty dried plum. In most parts of China, it is called huamei. It was made popular in Hawaii by Yee Sheong, who in early 1900s, had begun importing li hing mui and various other preserved fruits i.e. crack seed snacks from China to Hawaii.

P

  • Papaya
  • Pink peppercorn is a dried berry of the shrub Schinus molle, commonly known as the Peruvian peppertree. In 1982, the Food and Drug Administration of the United States banned the import of Brazilian peppercorns from France into the US, asserting that people who eat the berries risk an array of acute symptoms, such as swollen eyelids and indigestion. In response, the government of France maintained that the berries are safe to eat if grown in prescribed conditions.[11] The United States later lifted the ban.
  • Prunes are any of various plum cultivars, mostly Prunus domestica or European plum, sold as dried fruit. More than 1,000 cultivars of plums are grown for drying.

Dried seeds

Dry common beans
  • Beans is a common name for large plant seeds used for human food or animal feed of several genera of the family Fabaceae (alternately Leguminosae). The term is sometimes used as a synonym of pulse, though the term pulses is usually reserved for leguminous crops harvested for their dry grain. Dried beans include kidney beans, black turtle beans, pinto beans, and several others.
  • Grain consists of wheat, corn, soybean, rice, and other grains as sorghum, sunflower seeds, rapeseed/canola, barley, oats, etc. are dried in grain dryers.[16] In the main agricultural countries, drying comprises the reduction of moisture from about 17–30% to 8-15%, depending on the grain. The final moisture content for drying must be adequate for storage. Additional grains include lentils, wild rice, chick peas, and millet.
  • Some varieties of maize (usually called corn in North America) are dried to produce popcorn. Popcorn kernels with a high moisture content will pop when freshly harvested, but not well, and are also susceptible to mold when stored. So, popcorn growers and distributors dry the kernels until they reach the moisture level at which they expand (pop) the most when cooked. Dried maize left on the ear is also used for decorative purposes.

Fungi

Dried mushrooms
  • Baker's yeast
