Dried Vegetables

Aromatics, roots, and herbs preserved by drying — galangal, lemongrass, kaffir, and the small-batch dehydrated alternatives that hold their character on a shelf. Cooks reach for them when fresh isn't possible or when a slow-simmered broth needs concentration. Distinct from [[Spices & Powders]] (ground), [[Dried Chili]] (chili-specific), and [[Pickled / Preserved Vegetables]] (preserved in brine or vinegar, not dehydrated).
