The Freeze-Drying Process: A Symphony of Science and Nature
Freeze-drying, also known as lyophilization, is a delicate process that preserves the natural goodness of fruits by removing the water while retaining their shape, flavor, and nutritional integrity.
The journey begins with working hand in hand with local farmers and carefully selecting the finest organic fruits. These are then rapidly frozen, locking in their natural flavors and nutrients. Next, they undergo primary and secondary drying phases, where moisture is gently removed, preserving their quality. Once freeze-dried, the fruits are packaged to seal in their freshness, resulting in nutritious snacks that can be enjoyed anytime, anywhere.
