Unlike a few years ago when gifting was all about bouquets and boxes of chocolates, these days there is a relentless pursuit of something ‘different’ – which is why freeze-dried snacks feature so prominently in the assortment of celebration gifts. A refreshingly novel and trendy alternative to traditional presents, these snacks have attracted rave reviews for all the right reasons.
Foods dehydrated with the help of a vacuum (a freeze-drying process called lyophilisation) meant that you could survive on a gourmet diet of nutrient- and flavour-intact dried foods that would never spoil.
Extended Shelf Life
Meanwhile, one of the greatest advantages of freeze-dried snacks is that they are highly durable: if stored in a right way, they can last for years and the recipient can eat them once he/she pleases.
Retention of Nutritional Value
And unlike other drying methods, freeze-drying doesn’t rob your food of its nutritional qualities, meaning you’re gift-giving not just an easy feed, but good health too!
If you love fruits like strawberries and mangoes, there are freeze-dried snacks for you. And if you like rarefied stuff such as durian, that is probably out there too.
Because they are crispy, taste very good, and look unusual, freeze-dried snacks are a perfect gift choice for parties. At birthdays or other celebrations bring your friends some new-fangled food.
This, in turn, encouraged popular customised gift sets of freeze-dried snacks, curated by the brand, to large portions of populations and on a scale that could be scaled to the recipient’s taste preferences.
That said, freeze-dried snacks also work well paired with other gifts. The book-lover in your life will appreciate a set of freeze-dried fruits alongside a best-seller for an ideal reading snack.
