FAQ about freeze dried foods
How is freeze dried candy made?
-
Freeze drying is the act of freezing something down to incredibly low temperatures and then putting it under vacuum chamber. The low temperatures make it easier for the moisture in the food to be removed and thus, drying the food. The candy is then packaged and is shelf stable (as long as it is stored properly) for up to 25 years!
