Dehydrated Cucumber

Product Introduction and Processing Technology
Dehydrated cucumbers are high-quality dehydrated vegetable products made from high-quality cucumbers freshly picked from the field, which are strictly screened, cleaned, trimmed, and then air-dried and dehydrated. The entire processing process strictly follows the HACCP food safety management system to ensure product safety and hygiene. First, the cucumbers undergo multiple cleaning procedures to effectively remove mud and impurities; then, the heads, tails and unqualified parts of the cucumbers are removed to ensure that the raw materials are fresh and uniform. Then, advanced blade cutting or grinding technology is used to adjust the particle size of the cucumbers to meet the needs of different customers for product forms, such as slices, dices, granules or powders.
The dehydration process uses a multi-stage temperature-controlled hot air drying system to ensure that the natural color, aroma and nutrients of the cucumbers are retained to the greatest extent while removing moisture. The air-drying process not only extends the shelf life of the product, but also greatly reduces storage and transportation costs, facilitating large-scale industrial applications and export trade. It is worth mentioning that Xinghua Jiahe Foods Co., Ltd. has advanced equipment and a complete quality management system, equipped with more than 300 manual sorting workers, as the last strict quality control link, to ensure that each batch of dehydrated cucumber is free of impurities and flaws, meeting the high standards of domestic and foreign customers.

Product function and nutritional value

More importantly, their nutrients such as vitamins, minerals and dietary fiber are concentrated, so that a small amount of products can meet the various nutritional needs of the human body.
