1Freeze-dried Fruit What You Should Know About It
2Dried or freeze-dried fruits are often found in
products such as porridge, muesli and mixes for
sweet bowls. But what does that actually mean?
What is the difference between dried and
freeze-dried? We will look at all this and the
health aspects in this article. What are
freeze-dried fruits?Fresh, untreated fruits are
rarely used in breakfast products. These would
spoil quickly and make the product inedible.
Therefore, many food manufacturers resort to
preservation methods. These are intended to make
the fruits contained longer edible and
durable. Also See Dry Fruits
3One popular method is drying. In this process,
the selected types of fruit are first pitted and
then dried in an oven or special dehydrators
under low heat. Grapes are turned into sultanas,
plums into prunes. However, there is a difference
of opinion when it comes to dried fruits some
love them, others cant do anything with them.
4Freeze-dried fruits are so healthyThe great
advantage of freeze-drying, apart from
preservation, however, is not necessarily that
the structure is preserved. While this may be
important for freeze-dried flowers, it is
secondary for food processing. Often, the
freeze-dried fruit is ground into powder so that
it can be better integrated into the product.
