FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

What is Freeze Dried?

Freeze-drying, also known as lyophilization, is a process in which water in the form of ice under low pressure is removed from a material by sublimation. This process has found many applications for the production of high quality food and pharmaceuticals.

How long does food last after Freeze Dried?

Freeze-dried food, on the other hand, is much more suitable for long-term storage. Because 98-99 percent of the moisture in food being freeze-dried is removed during the process, it is best to consume within 3-5 years however it can last up to 25 years.

What is the Texture of Freeze Dried Foods?

Freeze drying removes nearly all moisture or water content from the food, giving it a crispy, crunchy, airy texture. And because they're little to no moisture content, freeze-dried fruit is very light.

How Long Does it Take to Freeze Dry?

It typically takes between 3 to 48 hours to complete the process. Food type, moisture and quantity will affect the freeze-dry cycle and times.

What's the difference between Dehydrated and Freeze Dried Foods?

When you dehydrate you use warm blowing air to remove between 70-90% of the moisture out of the food. This means, without that moisture, that you’re not going to get bacteria build-up or mold and the food will be shelf-stable.Usually, dehydrated foods can store on your shelf pretty well for about a year. Many foods that cannot be dehydrated. Freeze-drying is a bit different than dehydrating. Instead of using heat, freeze-drying uses extremely cold temperatures (like -40 F) and then forms a vacuum around the food and alternately heats and cools the food to remove 99% of the moisture out of the food. This allows that food to retain incredible nutrient density and to last up to 25 years sitting on your shelf. Just like Dehydrated there are some foods that do not freeze dry, pure chocolate, pure honey, any type nut butter and high oily foods.

What packaging is best for Freeze Dried Foods?

The tightness of Mylar is great at isolating stored food from other environmental factors. Tight Mylar bags help control and limit the main factors that can destroy food – oxygen, moisture, and light. The tensile property of Mylar also helps keep out any unwanted aromas. Most food items will have an oxygen absorber except for candy.
