What is freeze-dried fruit and vegetables?

Food is said to be freeze-dried when it has undergone freeze-drying. Freeze-drying is a highly advanced technique that allows food to be preserved over the long term after processing. It has proven to be the most efficient and that is why it is so popular.
For a food to be freeze-dried, it must contain water. This is the case with fruit and vegetables. They were frozen for many hours beforehand and then completely dehydrated. After dehydration, they were ground and sealed in compact packaging to keep them fresh for many years.
Our range also includes powdered fruit and vegetables. These are easy to use and will help you on a daily basis whether you are a sportsman or not.
