Why Choose Freeze-Dried Foods?

Shelf Life

Shelf life is directly correlated with moisture content—the higher the moisture, the shorter the shelf life. Dehydrated food loses up to 90% of its moisture. Home dehydrators might only remove around 80%, resulting in a shorter shelf life. High-quality dehydrated foods can last up to 15 years and, in some cases, up to 25 years depending on the food type.

Freeze-dried food is optimal for long-term storage, boasting a shelf life of 25 years or more. Store freeze-dried food in a cool, dark, and dry place to maximize longevity.

Preparing Freeze-Dried Food

Preparing freeze-dried food is simple—just add water and eat once rehydrated. The food retains a taste so close to the original that you might not notice the difference.

Nutrition

Freeze?dried food retains most of its nutrients throughout the process. When rehydrated, it is comparable in nutritional value to fresh food. Dehydrated food retains about 60?75% of its original nutrients, whereas freeze?dried food retains approximately 97%.

Taste

Taste is a key factor in food enjoyment. Both freeze?dried and dehydrated foods offer great flavors, but freeze-drying preserves more nutrients and retains the original texture and aroma. Dehydration, however, uses heat, which can reduce flavor, nutrients, and texture. Freeze?dried food generally wins in taste tests.
