Fruits and vegetables with light colored flesh will discolor when exposed to air. Use an anti-oxidant pretreatment to protect them from discoloration. Certain foods — lettuce, melons, cucumbers, radishes and asparagus, for example — are not suitable for home drying.

For drying, select fruits and vegetables that are fresh, ripe and found; just right for table use. Decay on one slice of apple or mold on one bean may give bad flavor to a whole tray. Harvest or buy only the amount you can dry at one time. Dry vegetables promptly to retain their flavor and food value.
