What is freeze-drying?
Freeze-drying is a three-step process that begins with freezing. It is a low-temperature dehydration process that involves freezing the product, lowering the pressure, then removing the ice by sublimation. Freeze-drying is different from other conventional drying methods. Other drying methods evaporate water by using a heat drying process.
What does freeze-drying do to food?
The benefits of freeze-drying retain nutritional value better than other drying methods. For example, a freeze-dried kale leaf looks just like a fresh kale leaf and nutritionally is as close as you can get. In addition, the process helps preserve the color and shape of the raw material.
Freeze-drying can also give you more extended shelf life. By removing the water through freeze-drying, it eliminates the potential for bacteria growth. The length of shelf life for freeze-dried foods can depend on the packaging, storage, temperature, moisture, and product.
