Description
Freeze-dried fruits are a type of fruit that has been dehydrated through a specialized process that removes all the moisture from the fruit. The fruits are frozen and then subjected to low pressure, which causes the water in the fruit to sublimate, or turn directly from a solid to a gas, without passing through a liquid state. This process preserves the nutrients, flavor, and color of the fruit while removing all of the water, resulting in a crunchy and lightweight product with a long shelf life. Freeze-dried fruits are a popular snack and ingredient in many recipes and are available in a wide variety of fruit types, including strawberries, blueberries, raspberries, mangoes, and apples, among others.
