Why Choose Freeze-Dried Foods Like Ready Hour?

Shelf Life

Moisture content directly impacts shelf life. The higher the moisture content, the shorter the shelf life. Dehydrated food loses up to 90% of its moisture, while home dehydrators remove around 80%, leading to a shorter shelf life. Top-end dehydrated food can last up to 15 years, and in some cases, even 25 years.

Freeze-dried food is ideal for long-term storage, boasting a shelf life of 25 years or more. Storing freeze-dried food in a cool, dark, and dry location can further extend its shelf life.

Preparing Freeze-Dried Food

To enjoy freeze-dried food, simply add water and let it rehydrate. The taste is so close to the original that you might not notice the difference.

Nutrition

Freeze-dried food retains most of its nutrients throughout the process, maintaining about 97% of its original nutrients once rehydrated. In contrast, dehydrated food retains only 60-75% of its original nutrients.

Taste

Flavor is a key element of any meal. Both freeze-dried and dehydrated foods taste great, but freeze-drying better preserves nutrients, flavor, texture, and aroma. Dehydration uses heat, which can cause food to lose flavor, nutrients, and texture. Most people agree that freeze-dried food wins the taste test.
