Vine drying is another method to dry food outdoors. This
method is usually used to dry beans (kidney, navy, lima,
soybeans, lentils etc.)
It is very easy, no pretreatment is necessary, just leave bean
pods
on the vine in the garden until the beans inside rattle.
When they are
dry and shriveled, pick the beans and shell them. If some of them
are still moist, the drying is not complete. Drying can be completed in
the sun, oven or food dehydrator. <>
