Why Choose Freeze-Dried Foods Like Augason Farms?

Shelf Life

Moisture content directly affects shelf life: higher moisture means a shorter shelf life. Dehydrated foods can lose up to 90% of their moisture, with home dehydrators only removing 80%, resulting in a shorter shelf life. Top-end dehydrated foods can last up to 15 years, and sometimes even 25 years, depending on the food type.

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

Preparation

To prepare freeze-dried food, simply add water and enjoy once rehydrated. The taste is remarkably close to the original. Dehydrated foods, however, often require boiling to rehydrate, which can take around 20 minutes, depending on the food.

Nutrition

Freeze-dried foods retain most of their nutritional content through the process, making the rehydrated food nutritionally similar to its fresh counterpart. In contrast, dehydrated foods retain only 60-75% of their original nutrients. Freeze-dried foods can keep about 97% of their original nutritional value.

Taste

Taste matters because if food isn’t delicious, why eat it? While both freeze-dried and dehydrated foods can taste great, freeze-drying better preserves flavor, nutrients, texture, and aroma. Dehydration involves heat, which can diminish these qualities. Most agree that freeze-dried foods win in terms of flavor, retaining their original taste, texture, and aroma much more effectively.
