2.Sun-Dried Vegetables: Sun drying is a traditional technique that utilizes natural sunlight to remove moisture.

3.Freeze-Dried Fruits: Freeze drying involves freezing the fruit and then reducing the surrounding pressure to allow the frozen water in the fruit to sublimate directly from ice to vapor.
