How are dried fruits made in Armenia? Solar Vegetarian. CHIR'S HOUSE enterprise in Byurakan

PIONERPRODUKT.by starts publishing a series of videos from the AgroExpedition in Armenia. In this video, we get to know CHIR'S HOUSE, which specializes in the production of dried fruits.
The company produces dried fruits from everything that grows in Armenia, and this is a fairly wide range: prunes, cherries, strawberries, peaches, cherries, pears, apples and even watermelon peels, as well as the main Armenian pride - apricot and much more. Most of the fruits for processing are brought by local residents. We believe that this is very good, because with such cooperation, both the enterprise and the population earn. The farm is also engaged in drying and selling various types of tea and mountain herbs.
In the mountains of Armenia, there is a large amount of obsidian - an igneous rock, a kind of volcanic glass, which since ancient times, local farmers have adapted for the needs of agriculture. And the CHIR'S HOUSE enterprise is no exception - the solar vegetarians are lined with obsidian stones along the edges, which allows you to accumulate solar heat coming under fruit trays, which allows you to quickly and efficiently dry them.
For all visiting tourists, the enterprise holds various master classes on making sweet fruit sujuk, which we usually call churchkhela in RUSSIA.
Ready-made and packaged dried fruits are supplied not only to shops in Yerevan, but also to some cities of the Russian Federation: Krasnodar, Sochi, Moscow, as well as abroad, for example, to the UK.
A number of products are packaged in branded wooden eco-boxes with the emblem of the farm, which are made on site.
Armenian sweet sujuk is made from various dried fruits, grape juice, FLOUR and various spices. Then everything is boiled, after which walnuts strung on a string are lowered into this sweet syrup. The nuts take on the required amount of syrup and are sent to dry.
The technological process of drying apricots begins with their selection, contrary to popular belief, the best fruits go into production. After selection, the apricots are washed, placed on special mesh trays and sent to a special room to dry for one day, after which the fruit trays are transferred to the dryer-vegetarian.
After the apricots are slightly dried in the vegetarium, as a rule, this process takes one day, the tray is taken out in order to pull the stone out of the apricots.
The stone is taken out with the help of ordinary plumbing round-nose pliers without cutting the fruit, penetrating inside through the stalk, grabbing the stone and pulling it out.
After removing the stone, the apricot is laid out in even layers on a baking sheet, which is placed for another three days in the vegetarian, after which dried apricots are obtained.
