Dehydrated Apples
A product of the war years, dehydrated apple slices have become a firm favourite with New Zelanders. When the slives were put on the market by the Internal Marketing Division as an experiment, the merchants’ stocks, equivalent to 100,000 bushels of fresh apples, were cleared in 10 days. The slices are the result of an improved process and when cooked they are as palatable as fresh fruit. As ‘bad weather has reduced the coming season’s crop to a probable 2,000,000 bushels, only about 100,000 bushels will be dehydrated, this year. The average apple crop is from 2,750,000 to 3,000,000. bushels. The Government has promised to send 250,000 cases of chilled apples to Britain. This is only a quarter of the Quantity originally sought by the United Kinugdom.
