Don't know either. I am going to construct a solar drier which u can also do. Check YouTube for solar drier videos, it will serve as guidelines on how to go abt it.

After the tomatoes have been solar-dried, it is then ground into powder. Because it is concentrated, a little goes a long way and it is reconstituted by pouring boiling water into a bowl and the desired quantity of tomato powder is added into the bowl and whisked.....turns to tomato paste and ready for cooking stew etc!
