After water is eliminated from food, bacteria and molds cannot survive in the dehydrated environment. This eliminates the possibility of food spoiling due to microorganisms that grow on food. Apart from adding the shelf life of food, dried food also has nutritional values. Dried fruits or foods are a very good source of energy. This is because they have concentrated fruit glucose. Fruits contain large amounts of vitamins and also minerals. The drying process may lead to the destruction of some vitamins in the fruit especially vitamins A and C. Fruit and other foods that can be dried are first exposed to sulfur before the drying process begins. Doing this helps retain vitamins A and C in the fruit. The fruits and other foods are exposed to sulfur because it destroys thiamine which is one of the vitamin B. fruit is not a crucial source of thiamine. Many of the dried fruits are rich in iron and riboflavin.

Vegetables are a very good source of minerals and the B vitamins. Both fruits and vegetables are a source of useful fiber or bulk we need. Water used to cook or soak dried food should not be discarded. The water is rich in nutrients from the dried food. The water can also be used in the preparation of recipes to make gravy and sauces.

The best and widely accepted way of retaining the nutritional value of dried foods is by controlling the drying process with out most care. Low heat therefore, should be used when drying food. When storing the dried food low humidity should be observed.

Dried food requires less cooking time than fresh foods. This saves time when cooking. When food is dried, it often decreases in mass and volume. This eases movement and storage of the dehydrated food.
