Prospects of the dehydrated vegetable industry

Dehydrated vegetables are widely used, almost involving all areas of food processing. They can not only be used to improve the nutritional content of products, increase product color and flavor, but also make the product variety richer, greatly improving the food structure of consumers. However, in order to develop the dehydrated vegetable industry, we must further accelerate the adjustment of the agricultural industrial structure and make the industry bigger and stronger.

1. Prevent unsalable products and process and preserve fresh goods.

After the harvest, some fruits and vegetables sometimes cannot be sold in time. In order to avoid rotting, some farmers choose to dehydrate them to increase the storage time.

2. Dehydrated dried fruits and vegetables.

In recent years, snacks made from dehydrated dried fruits and vegetables have often appeared in supermarkets. This kind of snack is not only crispy and easy to eat, but also meets the current busy population's demand for vegetables and fruits. Such a new type of deep processing of agricultural and sideline products can effectively prevent the sales problems that may arise due to excessive production of fruits and vegetables, and more importantly, it can create more added value for farmers.

3. Convenient food side dishes.

At present, the largest purchasers of dehydrated vegetables in China are those instant noodle manufacturers, and vegetables are indispensable in the ingredients. Even if we exclude products exported to Japan, South Korea and Southeast Asia, their annual purchase volume is no less than 10,000 tons. During the epidemic, some processed foods from China became the focus of foreign consumers' stockpiling, and foreign trade still grew against the trend. In addition, the rise of new convenience foods has also provided new development for the dehydrated vegetable industry. With more and more ingredients, more dehydrated vegetables are needed. Therefore, there is great potential in the market for dehydrated fruits and vegetables.
