Freeze Drying, The Process Explained

Ever wondered how freeze dried fruit is made, and why it’s different than dehydrated fruit? Check out the simple steps below:

1. We start with fresh fruit, straight from the best growing regions of the world. Fruit is sorted, cleaned, and quickly frozen.
2. Frozen fruit slices are placed through a vacuum chamber that gently removes water from the fruit by evaporating the ice, through a process called sublimation.
3. During the water removing process, the cell structure as well as the nutrients of the fruit are maintained resulting in a delicious, delightfully light, and flavorful CRISP.
4. The freeze dried fruit is packed and sealed in moisture proof packaging to ensure crispiness. 100% All Natural. No additives or preservatives.

Dehydrated Fruit Vs. Freeze Dried

It’s a common mistake that people think dehydrated fruit is the same as freeze dried. In reality making dehydrated fruit keeps more moisture in the fruit resulting in a chewier bite.

Freeze dried fruit has minimal moisture which results in a crispy, melt in your mouth texture. There are multiple ways to make dehydrated fruit at home while freeze dried requires machinery.
