Freeze-Dried Fruits & Vegetables
From the finest fruits and vegetables, each product, from seed to shipping, is carefully monitored to ensure the best lyophilized fruits and vegetables. Freeze-drying or lyophilization is a drying process in which the water is crystallized at low temperatures and thereafter sublimed from the solid state directly into vapor phase under high vacuum.
Lyophilization is a highly conservative technique that significantly reduces the damages and loss that occur while using other drying techniques. During the freeze-dried process, cell structure remains intact. . Lyophilized products conserve fully their flavor, the nutritional value and texture.
