Freeze-dried fruit is fruit that has undergone vacuum freeze-drying technology. This process offers several advantages over other preservation methods:

• Nutrient retention: Freeze-drying preserves the vitamins, minerals, and other essential nutrients better than other drying methods, making the fruits a healthier snack option.
• Natural flavor retention: This method retains the natural taste and flavor of the fruits, offering an authentic, fresh taste experience.
• Extended shelf life: Freeze-dried fruits last longer due to low moisture content, which prevents spoilage.
• Lightweight and convenient: Freeze-dried fruits are easy to carry, making them ideal for hiking, camping, and travel.
• Rehydration quality: Freeze-dried fruits regain much of their original texture and shape when rehydrated, making them versatile for cooking and baking.

Proper storage is essential to maintain the quality and shelf life of freeze-dried fruit. Here are some guidelines:

• Container: Store freeze-dried fruit in our resealable bag or an airtight container to prevent moisture and air exposure.
• Cool, dry place: Keep the container away from direct sunlight and heat.
• Avoid moisture: Ensure the storage area is free from humidity to prevent spoilage.

Freeze-dried fruits and vegetables, as well as their powders, can be used in a variety of ways:

• Snacking: Enjoy them as a healthy, convenient snack.
• Smoothies and shakes: Add powders to smoothies for extra nutrition and flavor.
• Baking: Incorporate them into baked goods like cakes, muffins, and cookies.
• Cereal and oatmeal topping: Sprinkle on cereal or oatmeal for added flavor and texture.
• Salads: Use them to enhance the flavor and nutritional value of salads.
• Yogurt or ice cream topping: Add a crunchy, fruity twist to yogurt or ice cream.
• Infusions: Use fruit powders to infuse beverages like teas or cocktails.
• Sauces and dressings: Incorporate into sauces and dressings for natural flavor and color.
