FREEZE DRIED VS DEHYDRATED
Freeze drying and dehydration are both methods of removing moisture from food. However, freeze drying involves freezing the food and then removing the ice crystals through sublimation, while dehydration involves removing moisture through evaporation. Freeze-dried foods tend to retain 97% of nutrients and have a longer shelf life but the process is more expensive. Dehydrated foods are more affordable but may have a shorter shelf life and lower nutrient only retaining 67%.
WHAT IS FREEZE-DRYING
Freeze drying is a process that removes moisture from food, making it last longer and preserving its nutritional value. This method is particularly useful for foods that are sensitive to heat or moisture, such as fruits, vegetables, and meats. Freeze-dried foods are lightweight, easy to store, and can be reheated quickly, making them a popular choice for camping, hiking, and emergency preparedness.
BENEFITS
Freeze-dried goods are incredibly versatile and can be used in a variety ways. They can be rehydrated and used in soups, stews, and casseroles, or added to smoothies and baked goods for an extra nutritional boost. They can also be eaten as a snack or used as a topping for salads and yogurt. The possibilities are endless, making freeze-dried goods a great addition to any pantry.
