10 Awesome Uses for Freeze-Dried Berries

History of Freeze-Dried Foods

Freeze-dried foods have been around since the ancient Peruvian Incas. Incas stored their crops in the Machu Picchu mountains, and the low air pressure combined with high-altitude, cold air vaporized the water in the crops. Today, the process of removing water from frozen foods is called “lyophilization.” The freeze-drying process was commercialized after World War II.
