Sometimes I need something to keep in my bag for work. Dried fruit, nuts, and jerky are good. Sundried tomatoes are the only veggie I've ever seen, dried.
Is there a good reason for this?
Anyone have any experience with drying veggies for snacking?
All the googling I've done has come up with dried veggies to rehydrate later (camping, etc.). Don't want that.
Tricky.
We have dried tomatoes and peppers here, but they both take hard work to chew on.
The only ones I use I rehydrate later.
I hope you find something.
I guess the best reason not to do dried veggies is that they taste weird (to say the least).
I suspect that dehydrated protein and sugar are more palatable than "fiber with low carb", ie, veggies. Alternative: most veggies are safe unrefrigerated, why not just eat them as is?
Once, I saw a way to blend veggies into a puree, then flavor them and pour them into trays for drying. Then they could be cut into little bars for snacking. Can't find that link, though.
Sounded more promising than just dried veggies.
All the other promising ones were for starchy veggies. Like chips. No thanks...

How long are the safe after they are cut up? It might be eight hours or more out of the cold. Carrots, peppers, etc.
An icepack is probably an option. I used to have a very small insulated lunch bag, but I ditched it as I moved to larger and larger coolers. Might need to buy a new one.

Well, they sit in the grocery racks for days (?), I think that the shelf life in a brown bag would be the same. Just keep in mind what might contaminate them in the preparation. I generally just rinse them off, remove the labels. Use a clean knife and preparation surface. Easily I have used veggies for a couple of days, esp. on back packing trips.

I supposed that's true. I leave veggies out, all the time, just never cut up.
Dehydrated Veggies?
