While ordinary dehydrated foods have their valid place in food preservation.......FREEZE dried foods are another story all together. Freeze dried foods retain almost all of their nutrients and all of their flavor due to the flash freeze dried process. Most of the food products have a shelf life of 25 years and taste just as fresh when opened 25 years later. This process takes place within hours of picking the fruits and vegetables at their peak of ripeness. There are so many benefits to freeze dried foods which I will cover in more depth in later posts. The photos below are an example of freeze dried peas before refreshing and after water is added. The peas return to their bright green color and taste like fresh green peas! YUM! You can also eat them right out of the can!
