Explanation:
Detailed explanation-1: -How does drying keep food from spoiling? Drying or “dehydrating” food is a method of food preservation that removes enough moisture from the food so bacteria, yeast and molds cannot grow.
Detailed explanation-2: -Drying or dehydration-the oldest method of food preservation-is particularly successful in the hot, dry climates found in much of New Mexico. Quite simply, drying removes moisture from food, and moisture is necessary for the bacterial growth that eventually causes spoilage.
