Home-dried foods do not last as long, and loose some nutrients in the process- but can offer a lot of cheap nutrition and variety in the off-seasons. I have not bothered myself, but I've heard from others who have done it and their torts have eaten it.
I only tossed that bit in since I hear so often from people who are frustrated because they buy a bunch of produce and their tortoises only eat a little of it before it starts to go bad.
