Why Choose Freeze-Dried Foods Like Mountain Fresh Foods?

Shelf Life

The shelf life of food is closely tied to its moisture content. The higher the moisture content, the shorter the shelf life. Dehydrated foods lose a significant amount of moisture—up to 90 percent! Home dehydrators generally remove only about 80% of water, resulting in a shorter shelf life. Even so, top-quality dehydrated foods can maintain a shelf life of up to 15 years, and in some cases, even up to 25 years, depending on the type of food.

Freeze-dried food is the optimal choice for long-term storage. It can last for 25 years or more. To extend the shelf life, store freeze-dried foods in a cool, dark, and dry place whenever possible.

Preparing Freeze-Dried Food Like Mountain Fresh Foods

To prepare freeze-dried food, simply add water and enjoy once rehydrated. The taste will be so close to fresh that you may not notice the difference.

Nutrition

Freeze-dried foods maintain most of their nutrient content throughout the process. Once rehydrated, they offer nutritional value comparable to fresh foods. Dehydrated foods retain only 60-75% of their original nutrients, whereas freeze-dried foods retain about 97% of their original nutritional content.

Taste

Flavor is a key factor in food consumption. Both freeze-dried and dehydrated foods taste great, but freeze-drying better preserves nutrients, flavor, texture, and aroma. Dehydration uses heat, which can reduce food’s flavor, nutrients, and texture. Most people agree that freeze-dried food wins the taste test.
