Centuries ago, man discovered that
removing moisture from food helps to preserve it, and that the easiest way to do
this is to expose the food to sun and wind. In this way the North American
Indians produce pemmican (dried meat ground into powder and made into cakes),
the Scandinavians make stockfish and the Arabs dried dates and "apricot
leather". All foods including water — cabbage and other leaf
vegetables contains as much as 93% water, potatoes and other root vegetables
80%, lean meat 75% and fish, anything from 80% to 60%, depending on how fatty it
is. If this water is removed, the activity of the bacteria which cause food to
go bad is checked. Fruit is sun-dried in Asia Minor, Greece,
Spain and other Mediterranean countries, and also in California, South Africa
and Australia. The methods used vary, but in general, A. is the one most commonly used today B. was invented by the American Indians C. has been known for hundreds of years D. tends to be unhygienic
