dried food; dry provisions; dried goods
Refers to foodstuffs preserved by drying, such as dried fish, mushrooms, seaweed, or beans. Common in cooking and grocery contexts.
Dried foods can be stored for a long time, so they are also useful as emergency provisions.

Before using it, soak the dried food in water to rehydrate it.
