What is Freeze Dried?

A freeze dryer removes water from a perishable material to preserve it, extending its shelf life and/or making it more convenient for transport.

 

It is a preservation method that preserves products by freezing them, then reducing the pressure to sublimate the water, and finally applying heat to dry them without damaging their properties.

 

In the freeze-drying process, which can be described as a gentle drying process, water is removed in the form of steam without breaking molecular bonds, leaving the product dehydrated and stable at room temperature.
This technique keeps the shape, texture, flavour, and nutrients, providing a high quality, long-lasting product.
