Dried sweet potatoes "answer questions": 1. Why not peel it before steaming?
A: Because peeling first has two disadvantages. One is that sweet potatoes will absorb more water without skin, and they will be more dependent on the weather when they are dried.

2. How to preserve the prepared dried sweet potatoes?
A: The production process of dried sweet potatoes is mainly a dehydration process, so it is more sweet and low in moisture, and it is easier to absorb moisture, so it is best to keep it vacuum or sealed.
Finally, I still want to remind you that although the dried sweet potatoes in this way are particularly delicious, you really should not eat too much. Because after removing a lot of water, its main components are starch, fiber and sugar, so the heat is really not low!
