Why Choose Freeze-Dried Foods?
The freeze-dried food process is far superior over traditional food preservation methods. Freeze drying produces a high quality product that retain roughly 95% of its nutritional value due to the process of sublimation. Sublimation happens when food is placed inside the freeze dryers vacuum chamber, then brought down to -20 degrees. Once the liquid inside freezes turning to ice, the ice is then removed by transforming the ice into a vapor gas state. After the ice (water) has been removed, the product inside the vacuum chamber is then heated and dried to ensure all moisture has been removed.
During this process, food keeps its color, shape and nearly all of its nutrients. The food no longer needs to be stored with refrigeration and can have a shelf life lasting longer then 25 years if stored appropriately.
