Freeze Dried Food FAQ

What is freeze drying?

Freeze drying is the process of removing the moisture from the fruit using a vacuum (but, not the kind you have at home). This special process ensures maximum nutrient retention.

 
How is freeze-drying different from other food preservation methods?

Freeze drying is distinct from methods like vacuum drying and hot air drying. It involves the sublimation of water, transitioning from ice to vapor without passing through the liquid state. This unique process helps retain the food’s taste, texture, and nutritional profile.

 
What is the shelf life of freeze-dried food?

The shelf life of freeze-dried food is significantly extended due to the low water activity levels achieved during the process. Properly stored freeze-dried products can have a shelf life of several years, making them ideal for long-term storage and emergency preparedness.

Can freeze-dried food be rehydrated and cooked?

Yes, freeze-dried food can be easily rehydrated by adding water. This process restores the food to a state similar to its original form, allowing for cooking or consumption. Whether used in recipes or enjoyed as a quick snack, rehydrating freeze-dried food restores its natural taste and texture.

 
What are the benefits of freeze dried and vacuum fried fruit and vegs?

Freeze-dried and vacuum-fried selections are a way to enjoy healthier alternatives to traditional snacking options. The unique way they are cooked means that they retain their nutritional values, long-lasting freshness, travel friendly, low in calories, and they taste delicious!
