While soaking, it is recommended to keep fruits and vegetables in the refrigerator, barely soaked in water or stock, so as to prevent the bacterial growth. The soaking time is variable but generally it is recommended as four (4) hours for fruits and two (2) to ten (10) hours for vegetables.

Rehydration through simmering
For fruits: one cup of fruits with one cup of water allowed to simmer until the right consistency is reached. For vegetables: one cup of dehydrated vegetables with a cup of boiling water and allow it to soak until the proper consistency is reached.
