Dehydrated Vegetables in Pakistan: Uses, Storage and How to Buy
Dehydrated vegetables are vegetables with the water removed, so they keep for much longer than fresh produce. They are useful for busy kitchens, family pantries and anyone who wants to cook with vegetables year-round.
How to use dehydrated vegetables
- In soups and dal: add them early so they soften as the dish cooks.
- In pulao and rice dishes: add them with the water so they absorb flavour.
- Soaked for salans: soak them in warm water for a few minutes before adding them to the pan.
How to store them
Store dehydrated vegetables in an airtight container in a cool, dry place. Keep the container away from steam and moisture, and use a dry spoon each time. Full guidance is in how to store dried fruits and vegetables.
What to check when you buy
- Choose packs that are vacuum sealed or tightly closed.
- Check that the ingredients list names only the vegetable.
- Ask how the vegetables were dried. Our produce is sun-dried on raised racks and vacuum sealed the same day.
