Freeze-dried fruit and vegetables are fresh produce that has had the water gently removed through a special process called freeze-drying. This keeps all the natural flavour, colour and nutrients intact while giving the fruit a light, crispy texture that lasts for months.
-
First, the fresh fruit or vegetables are frozen to lock in their natural goodness. Then, in a vacuum chamber, the ice turns directly into vapour through a process called sublimation. Because no heat is used, the fruit keeps its nutrients, taste and colour, with a satisfying crunch in every bite.
-
Freeze-drying removes water at very low temperatures, keeping the fruit’s natural flavour, texture and nutrients. Dehydrated fruit is dried with heat, which can make it chewier, darker in colour and sometimes less nutrient-rich.
