Sun-dried vegetables can be preserved safely for a long time and used whenever required because the sun's heat dehydrates them and makes them fit for preservation. When the sun removes the water content from vegetables like spinach, meethi (fenugreek) leaves and cauliflower, it cuts down the chances of growth of microorganisms. Microorganisms like bacteria and mould are responsible for spoiling food. These microorganisms require water to grow. In the absence of water or moisture, these microorganisms do not grow and hence do not spoil the food, thus letting the food remain fresh for long. Sun-drying is a commonly used method of preservation, not just in our country, but also in many other parts of the world.
