ABSTRACT:
An improved fruit drying system particularly suited for large scale commercial drying application is disclosed, comprising a plurality of substantially rigid transparent hoods, each sized to be positioned over the fruit to be dried to increase the drying effect of solar radiation and including vent means for providing convectional air flow across the fruit during the drying process. The hoods are adapted to be arranged in a side by side orientation directly within the growing field and be rapidly interlocked to one another whereby a composite hood assembly is yielded. The hood assembly forms an effective shroud over the fruit which prevents exposure of the fruit to moisture and/or animal predators during the drying process.
