What is Freeze-Drying?
Freeze-drying is a preservation process that involves freezing a substance and then removing its moisture through sublimation, resulting in a lightweight, shelf-stable product that retains its original shape, flavor, and 95% of its nutritional content.
This is different from dehydrating because dehydrating food uses high heat and airflow to gradually remove moisture from food. This can lead to changes in texture, color, and some nutrient content. When dehydrating, you are left with a more compact and chewy product as well as a product that may have a shorter shelf life than freeze-dried products.
Are freeze-dried foods good for you?
Freeze-dried foods can be a healthy and practical option when part of a balanced diet. It is advised to be mindful of portion sizes and use freeze-dried foods as part of a diverse and well-rounded meal plan. Always consult with a healthcare professional or nutritionist for personalized advice based on individual dietary needs.
What types of products can be freeze-dried?
A wide range of products, including fruits, vegetables, meats, dairy, and even pharmaceuticals. However here at Ani, we like to focus on fruits, veggies, and occasionally sweets for those special cheat days!
