DEHYDRATED FOODS
FRUITS AND VEGETABLES. OTTAWA. Dehydrated fruits and vegetables are now being manufactured in Canada for shipment overseas. These have the virtue of being only one-tenth the weight of canned foods and take only one-sixth the space for storage—two extremely important elements with shipping space strictly limited.
Already dehydrated onions have been constantly travelling to Britain in the face of the dire onion shortage this winter and early spring. But onions are by no means the only vegetables that are being dehydrated. Others include carrots, spinach, beets, turnips and even potatoes. Fruits on the list are apples and pears, and there is also pumpkin pie and vegetable soup. The vegetables are dehydrated by a vacuum process which draws away all the moisture. When they are placed in boiling water for half an hour, they expand to their former cubic capacity, and then can be cooked in the normal way.
