At the moment I tend to look at "dried" as in the food you buy in packets in the shops and "dehydrated" as in home dried. I don't know why after all they are both foods with the water content reduced.
Thats about right. They all have some water taken out. The food industry calls it dried when it is hard with next to no water content. Sun dried is used for drying in the sun and also for dehyrating. The terms are not standardized enough thats for sure.
