How to dry kiwi

Drying kiwi at home is a great way to turn it into a delicious and nutritious snack. You can use an oven or a food dehydrator to dry kiwi. Here’s how:

• Ingredients:
• Ripped kiwi

How to prepare:
Wash the kiwi thoroughly.
Peel the kiwi using a sharp knife or peeler.
Cut the kiwi into thin slices (about 5 mm). The thinner the slices, the faster and more evenly they will dry.

Drying:
Preheat the oven to a low temperature (about 50-60 degrees Celsius, or 120-140 degrees Fahrenheit).
Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Arrange the kiwi slices on the sheet so that they are spaced apart to allow air to circulate.

Baking:

Place the sheet in the oven and allow the kiwi to dry for 4 to 6 hours.
Turn the slices every 2 hours to ensure even drying.
The slices should be dry and pliable when finished.

Refrigeration and storage:
After drying is complete, allow the kiwi slices to cool completely.
Store dried kiwi slices in an airtight container in a cool, dry place. They can retain their flavor for several weeks.

Using a food dehydrator:
Prepare kiwis in the same way as above.

Arrange the kiwi slices on the food dehydrator trays so that the slices are not touching.

Set the dehydrator to 55-60°C (130-140°F).

Leave to dry for 6 to 8 hours, or until the slices are completely dry and pliable.

Additional tips:
Sweetness: You can sprinkle a little sugar on the slices before drying if you prefer them sweeter, but naturally sweet kiwis don’t need it.

Ensure complete drying: If the slices are still damp, let them dry longer until they reach the desired consistency.

Storage time: To keep dried kiwis fresh for longer, you can store them in the refrigerator or freezer.
Dried kiwi slices are a delicious and healthy snack, and can be used in many recipes such as cereal, yogurt, or desserts.
