Drying in sunlight aids in reducing moisture content quickly, while subsequent drying in shade prevents over-drying and maintains optimal grain moisture levels for storage, ensuring the grains remain free from mold and fungal contamination.

Drying produce first in sunlight and then in shade combines the benefits of both methods. Sunlight aids in initial drying, reducing moisture content quickly, while shade drying allows for slower, more controlled drying, preserving color, flavor, and nutrients. This dual process enhances food preservation and quality.
