According to the Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO), drying is one of the most common methods for processing and preserving squid globally. This confirms that dried squid is, by its very definition, a processed food, with methods ranging from traditional sun-drying to modern industrial techniques. The extent of processing, however, can vary significantly depending on the final product.

With up to 70 grams of protein per 100g serving, dried squid is a surprisingly concentrated source of this vital nutrient. This remarkable protein density is not a result of any special treatment, but rather a simple process of moisture removal that intensifies the squid's natural nutrition.
