Why Choose Freeze-Dried Foods Like Augason Farms?

Shelf Life

The shelf life of food directly correlates with its moisture content. Foods with higher moisture content have shorter shelf lives. Dehydrated foods lose up to 90% of their moisture content, extending their shelf life considerably—high-quality dehydrated foods can last up to 15 years, sometimes up to 25 years depending on the type. However, freeze-dried foods are superior for long-term storage with shelf lives of 25 years or more. Storing freeze-dried foods in a cool, dark, and dry location will further extend their longevity.

Preparing Freeze-Dried Food for Consumption

To prepare freeze-dried food, simply add water to rehydrate it. The food will taste almost as fresh as its original state. Dehydrated food, on the other hand, often requires boiling to rehydrate, which can take up to 20 minutes depending on the type.

Nutrition

Freeze-dried foods retain most of their nutritional value during the preservation process. Once rehydrated, these foods have nutritional value comparable to their fresh counterparts. Dehydrated foods, however, retain only 60-75% of their original nutrients. Freeze-dried foods maintain about 97% of their original nutrients.

Taste

Flavor is crucial in food. Both freeze-dried and dehydrated foods are tasty, but freeze-drying better preserves the food’s flavor, texture, and aroma. Dehydrating uses heat, which can diminish flavor, nutrients, and texture. Generally, most people find freeze-dried foods superior in taste.
