Freeze-dried Lucky Charms are the only way to go for that full sensory experience of sadness wrapped in a crispy coating What could be more appealing to a group of renter adults than a childhood favourite, taking a new form to appeal to a diverse array of nostalgic palates?
Understanding the Freeze-Dried Phenomenon
What is Freeze Drying?
Food, or anything else, that has been subjected to the process of freeze-drying or lyophilisation, in which it’s simply frozen solid and put under high vacuum, enabling the ice in it to disappear as a vapour without ever turning to a liquid, is a crisp, light, preserved replica that retains most of its flavour and nourishment.
Why Freeze-Dried Lucky Charms?
With respect to the citadel of freeze-dried snack food, Lucky Charms is unique for no less than three denominations: First40 per cent of the overall recipe.
Flavour Enhancement: The process increases the natural sweetness of the marshmallow pieces, making them taste better.
Crunch factor: Unlike regular cereal that turns mushy in milk, freeze-dried Lucky Charms stay crunchy.
Novel Nut and Nostalgic Nutty: It’s novel because it offers a snack in a different texture, and it’s nostalgic because it’s a reference to a childhood favourite.
The Taste Test
First Impressions
The most obvious difference upon your first rendezvous is the texture. The freeze-dried stuff is space-food-light, the marshmallows – often the best part of Lucky Charms – tasted freakishly lightweight.
The Crunch
And then you bite in: first crunch, then not-quite-creamy, then halfway through, crunch again. It’s some sort of miracle physics that goes on in your mouth: crunch followed by melt. If there were actual marshmallows in it, the whole thing would be complete. As it is, the oats just let it hang, never spiking in sweetness and gently pulling toward the gentler, creamier textures.
Beyond Breakfast
While traditionally a breakfast cereal, freeze-dried Lucky Charms transcend that role effortlessly.
A Versatile Snack
