Choose fresh fruits and vegetables as raw materials such as carrots, sweet potatoes, apples and pears. Wash the raw materials, remove the skin and defective parts, and then cut into thin slices or strips. Put the cut fruit and vegetable slices into a dehydrator for dehydration to remove excess water in the fruits and vegetables.
Soak dehydrated fruit and vegetable slices in water containing a small amount of acidic substances to maintain color and taste. Put the soaked fruit and vegetable slices into the drying room for low temperature drying to remove excess water and make the fruits and vegetables more crisp. Pack crisp fruits and vegetables to ensure their freshness and taste, and add different seasonings as needed. Generally speaking, the production process of crisp fruits and vegetables is mainly treated to make them more crisp and refreshing, while retaining the nutritional components and natural flavor of fruits and vegetables.
