DRYFII FAQ's

PRODUCT INFORMATION

What is freeze-dried food?

Freeze-dried food is made by removing almost all the moisture through a special process that freezes the food and then uses a vacuum to remove the ice. This helps preserve the food’s flavor, texture, and nutrients while making it lightweight and easy to store.

How is freeze-drying different from other food preservation methods? Do freeze-dried foods retain their nutritional value?

Freeze-drying removes water without using heat, unlike canning or dehydrating, which can reduce nutrients and change the taste. Freeze-dried foods retain around 97% of their nutrients, making them one of the best ways to preserve food while keeping it fresh and healthy.

What is the shelf life of your products?

Our freeze-dried products typically have a shelf life of 12 months when stored properly in a cool, dry place.
