Answer 1

Wheat, maize and oats are preserved by drying.

Explanation:

• Drying can simply be described as the process in which water is removed from a product so that the product can be preserved.
• The reason that drying works in preservation is because drying out takes away the moisture in which the microorganisms such as bacteria, yeasts and molds will grown and spoil the product.
