Most restaurants and all commissaries use dehys as much as possible...
they keep practically forever and need no refrigeration. I swear by
dehy potatoes, no paring, and are available in all forms; sliced,
diced, chunks, etc. The US Navy developed all sorts of dehys for sea
storage, and space travel. Didja know that better than 90% of the
eggs produced are used as dehys... it's difficult to find egg shells
at bakeries. Better than 95% of the strawberries produced in the US
become dehys.
