STORING
DRIED VEGETABLES
Containers of dried vegetables should be stored in a dry,
cool,
dark place. Low storage temperatures extend the shelf
life
of dried products.
All dried vegetables deteriorate to some extent during
storage,
losing vitamins, flavor, color and aroma. For
this
reason, dried vegetables will not retain their appeal
indefinitely.
Carrots, onions and cabbages deteriorate more quickly
than
other vegetables, and will generally have a shelf life
of
only 6 months. Some vegetables, however, will be good
after
a year's storage.
