Why dry?
Drying with Biosec offers benefits for your health, the environment and your wallet. And what’s more – it’s really simple!

It’s natural:
Drying is one of the few methods of preserving food that allows organoleptic and nutrition properties to be maintained practically unaltered.
Dried food does not undergo any chemical or mechanical manipulation, nor are preservatives or other artificial substances added.
Eliminating the water deprives the decomposing microorganisms of their essential element, totally blocking their activity as a result.
The lack of liquid inhibits the development of microbes and prevents food from oxidising.

It’s ecological:
Drying is one of the most ecological systems for preserving foodstuffs: Energy savings are an important factor in the design of Biosec and it in fact only uses a modest quantity of electricity and works simply with air!
Dried products are also up to 80-90% smaller than their original size, making Biosec suitable above all for those with small houses where storage space in the pantry is at a premium.
Finally, drying seasonal fruit and vegetables, either bought at the supermarket or home-grown, means they can be eaten all year round without the need for imports from the other side of the world in the middle of winter.

It’s economical:
A Biosec-dried product can be stored without the need for cold rooms and without the expense of preserving in oil, vinegar or salt.
The advantages in economic terms of a pantry stocked with typically summer products ready to be eaten even in the middle of winter are all too obvious. There is no need to pay the earth for fruit and vegetables from another hemisphere in order to enjoy summer flavours even in December.
All you need to do is go to the pantry and prepare tomatoes, aubergines or figs just the way you like them.

It’s simple:
Drying is a simple intuitive method that anyone can use.
Once you are familiar with thicknesses and drying times you will be able to preserve any product in the best way possible.
Drying with Biosec does not call for any specific skill nor do you need to read long complicated instruction manuals. Anyone who knows how to use a knife can discover this easy fun system for simplifying domestic science while following a natural diet.
Thanks to its versatility, Biosec brings into your home a preservation system that is millenary yet innovative.

The old-fashioned way…
Perhaps not everyone knows that drying was one of the first methods invented by man for preserving food.
Not many people today use this millenary tradition and most are convinced that it is a fortuitous modern-day invention, but we know for certain that even the Egyptians dried figs, dates, grapes, medicinal and other herbs in the open air.
Numerous iconographic evidence tells of the use of this technique, together with preservation in salt or brine.
Even in more recent times however drying is a popular tradition. In Italy this method has always been widely used, suffice to think of dried tomatoes, typical of regions in the south of the country, but also of mushrooms, figs, pumpkin seeds, etc.
Our grandparents used to dry things in their wood-fired ovens after the fire had gone out, or by putting the food in contact with the warm house walls or directly out in the sun.
