00:28 Hello, Doctor, and welcome to "Dapat Alam Mo!"
00:31 Hi, Susan! Thank you so much!
00:33 Thank you, Doc!
00:34 And Daniel,
00:35 do you reduce or lose the nutrients of fruits and vegetables?
00:39 When it's dried, do we still get the 100% health benefits?
00:43 Do we eat those?
00:45 Generally, Susan, what we lose is the water content, of course.
00:50 And there are volatile nutrients that cannot survive in the drying process,
00:56 like B vitamins, beta-carotene, and vitamin C.
01:01 So those are what we lose.
01:03 But we retain almost all of the nutritional value and dietary fiber
01:10 like the ones in fresh fruits and vegetables.
01:14 And those can still be added.
01:16 If we dry it in the sun, we can add vitamin D.
01:19 Oh, natural.
01:21 And Doc, what are the fruits and vegetables that can be dehydrated?
01:26 There are many.
01:28 For us, we have mangoes.
01:31 We export those.
01:33 Yes, we can also use jackfruit.
01:35 Pineapple, banana.
01:37 Coconut meat.
01:38 Coconut meat is very abundant in our agricultural crops.
01:42 We also have mushrooms, tomatoes, sweet potatoes, squash, and even okra.
01:47 They're all dehydrated and still crispy.
01:50 And bitter gourd.
01:52 And there are many more, Susan.
01:53 Yes, actually, there are many more things that can be dehydrated.
01:56 When we dehydrate fruits and vegetables,
01:59 some people do it to store food for a long time.
02:03 But how long should we keep it to eat it safe?
02:07 It depends on the preparation.
02:09 If it's properly dried, it can be stored for up to 10 years.
02:13 It can still be consumed.
02:15 Provided that it's stored in a clean, tightly closed container.
02:21 It's not exposed to light.
02:23 It shouldn't be exposed to direct sunlight.
02:25 It should be stored in a dark and cold place.
02:28 But once opened, it should be consumed within 1 to 2 weeks.
02:33 It's good that you're giving me dried mangoes.
02:35 I'll finish it right away.
02:35 Food like this can last a long time.
02:38 But Doc, it's popular because many people are selling it online.
02:42 Can anyone eat food like this?
02:44 No, very young and very old people should be careful.
02:49 Because this food is already dried.
02:51 The potential hazard of choking can happen.
02:56 They can get a stomachache while eating it.
02:58 So I hope you don't.
03:00 Oh my!
03:01 Thank you so much, Dr. Edinel Calvario.

03:26 Thank you for inviting us to talk about health issues.
