Why choose freeze-dried foods over dehydrated or canned? For me the answer is simple...Freeze-dried keeps all of the flavor and preserves food when stored properly with a very long shelf life and a delicious final product.
Snacking on freeze-dried foods such as fruits and candies provide a flavor "burst" where often the original flavor is concentrated bringing out the natural flavors to a whole new level. People that may have been limited to enjoying such candies as taffy or fruit chews can enjoy them without the "chewy" effect on their teeth. This makes it a great alternative for people with dentures and braces. Love taffy but can't stand it getting stuck in your teeth? No problem! Freeze-dried saltwater taffy literally maintains all of the flavor while melting in your mouth.
Freeze-dried snacks such as fruits are also great alternatives for people camping, hunting, and hiking. The freeze-dried fruits offer a lightweight option which allows easy carrying and more space for those long treks in the back country. Freeze-drying removes virtually all moisture from a product. This reduces a fruit's weight significantly. As long as the product is kept sealed in a Mylar bag, these products will not spoil as fresh fruit will. This allows someone to pack an entire pantry of fruit options without all the waste and bulk. Imagine going hiking and bringing along strawberries, raspberries, apples, bananas, and oranges; all while having plenty of room to still add other essentials in your pack and not feel weighted down.
Freeze-dried candies bring a sweet tooth to a entirely new level. Candies that are normally chewy become light as air and literally melt in your mouth. Caramels, taffy, and fruit chews rank among favorites in texture change with optimal flavor enhancement. Sometimes you just want a treat but not all the mess. Eating freeze-dried candy can provide that experience without compromising on flavor.
People have been all over social media and the internet talking about freeze-dried treats. It is always important to know, not all freeze-dried items are created equal. I always suggest purchasing your freeze-dried food from a reputable source who is licensed to produce your food. Since freeze-drying is a scientific process and food contamination is still possible; purchasing your freeze-dried items from a licensed company who has a valid business and food handling safety practices in place is always the smartest choice to know you are getting the highest quality and safest product out there. Check for things like nutrition labeling, business license information, lot number tracking, and material sourcing information before purchasing a freeze-dried product. Imagine ordering from someone who literally works on cars in the same room as your food is being prepared...or has their animals crawling on their table while slicing your fruit...Anyone can purchase a freeze-drier for the right price, but a company that has gone the extra step in food management and has a true brick and mortar business operation can give you the peace of mind in knowing what you are eating is safe and has been processed according to food and safety guidelines.
Bottom line Freeze-drying is a wonderful technique that leaves food tasty and fun! Pick what you want to try and go for it! The options are endless!
