Description
Freeze dried fruit is a great way to enjoy fruit from all seasons whether they are in or out of season, you are traveling whether that be camping, hiking, on a weekend getaway or you are sick. The packages take up little room and there is no worry of fresh fruit damage or spoilage. Eat it right from the bag or add it to a meal such as oatmeal (also known as porridge), curries, muffins, cookies or cakes (remember to increase the liquid slightly for rehydration), yogurt or your granola.
The Rogue freeze dries a variety of individual fruit in small batches. From apples, bananas and blueberries to plums and pineapple. Looking for a custom order of particular fruit or fruit combination? Contact The Rogue through the contact page and he will see how he can help you out!
Are Freeze Dried Fruit Good For You?
Freeze-dried fruit contain the same amount of nutrients as fresh fruit, including fiber, vitamins, and minerals. This means fruits that are nutrient rich and have little impact on blood sugar (like blueberries and apples) won't lose their nutritional value in dried form. Research has shown that freeze-dried fruit holds up to 90% of its original nutritional content and is a good source of vitamins, minerals, fiber and phytochemicals — chemicals produced by plants.
What is the Best Way to Store Freeze Dried Fruit?
The optimal temperature for freeze-dried food storage is between 32°F and 75°F. Typically, room temperature is fine, but if you have space we recommend storing your FD foods in a cool dark pantry or closet for best results. Exposure to excessive heat will compromise the integrity of the food.
Benefits of Freeze Dried Fruit.
Longer shelf life
Freeze-drying increases the shelf life of fruit up to 25 years. Since freeze-dried fruit does not require refrigeration, it is a great emergency and camping food option. Freeze-dried fruit can also save you space because of its smaller size in comparison to fresh fruit. Most importantly, the fruit can be rehydrated and restored to its original structure while retaining almost all its nutrients.
Convenience
Freeze-dried fruit is convenient because it’s lightweight, portable and lasts a long time. Almost all freeze-dried fruit is ready to eat and can be enjoyed as a healthy snack. Many freeze dried foods, such as fruits, vegetables and even meats, can be snacked on without rehydrating, making them a handy eat-on-the-go option. The texture and taste of freeze-dried food is much closer to the original than dehydrated food.
