Demand for healthy food products has risen dramatically in recent years in the world. The findings that indicate that some major diseases such as cancer and obesity are triggered by food products which do not satisfy the necessary sanitation conditions have lead the consumers use organic and decontaminated products. Experts indicate that vegetables should be consumed after drying them whether on their natural growing season or out of season. In that case, the demand for dried vegetables would always be high since the drying sector is a preferred field of business and has great contributions to economy. Consumers not only make use of the dried vegetables directly, but also they can benefit from the dried vegetables in instant soup, infant food and additive food flour. The first geothermal fruit and vegetable drying facility has been established at Karakurt town in the city of Kirsehir with the contributions of Kirsehir Municipality and Provincial Administration Corporation. Drying of banana, palm, quince, orange, pineapple, pear, apple kiwi, peach, watermelon and melon is currently practiced in that facility. However, the drying facility in terms of vegetable drying is not currently serving with full productivity. In the city of Kirsehir, 39 different kind of vegetable is grown at 3005,7 ha area. The proper selection of vegetable type according to climate conditions and proper irrigation techniques would yield the city to become more productive in field of vegetable growing. Among countless vegetables; tomato, water melon, melon, pepper, cucumber, eggplant, onion, green beans, white cabbage, lettuce, spinach, garlic, leek and carrot would take the first place to grow. The research that we are presenting would shed light on the sector of vegetable and fruit drying, specifically on vegetable drying. The process of drying that will be used also explained technically step by step
