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.

Preserves The Taste, Color and Nutritional Value of any fruit!

Freeze drying is remarkable because it causes no damage to the nutrition of the food being preserved. Other methods of preservation, such as canning and dehydrating, use higher temperatures that can destroy more than half (50%) the food value. Freeze drying does not shrink or toughen the food but retains the aroma, flavor, color, shape and nutritional content. Simply add our berries into water and they’re fresh! Smoothies, breakfast cereals, ice cream and yogurt will still look and taste fresh because, in reality, they still are. Without water and oxygen to spoil the food, it is as if the food has been placed in a time capsule. It will last and last and last!
