Understanding Freeze Dried Food
What is Freeze Drying?
It involves flash-freezing food and then putting it into a vacuum where the water within the food sublimates (that is, turns directly from ice to vapour). Food that is freeze dried maintains its nutrient content but also increases shelf-life.
Benefits of Freeze Drying
Freeze drying was advantageous. It kept the nutrient content of food intact. Also, the shape and colour of food would remain the same and the moisture was dehydrated, making the food easy to store and light in weight.
The Magic Behind Freeze-Dried Crunch Snacks
The Crunch Factor
Would you know why kids (and all of us, for that matter) love that crunch? The reason might surprise you. We've evolved to like crunchy foods because in our early history, crunch was synonymous with freshness. Freeze drying gives you that crunch without adding the fat and preservatives or doing the frying to get it.
Freeze Dried Fruits and Veggies
Think snacks: freezing drying fruits and vegetables for kids meals keeps that nutrient density, but makes them crunchy. Strawberries, apples, peas, all dried for children to crunch.
