Drying tomatoes

[remnant]

I suppose that drying out tomatoes isn't necessarily the best option. I would dry them in an oven and then grind them into a powder to assure that they last longer. Alternatively, one can value add the tomatoes by manufacturing ketchup, tomato sauce or tomato paste. The best strategy is sun drying instead of using an oven for them to dry naturally and with a good sheen.
