Question 1

What is freeze-dried fruit?

Accepted Answer

Freeze-dried fruit is fresh fruit that is frozen at an extremely cold temperature in a vacuum. By gradually applying heat to the vacuumized frozen fruit, its moisture is sublimated directly from its frozen state into vapor. Bypassing the melting stage allows the fruit to remain intact and retain 97% of its nutrients.

Question 2

What does freeze-dried fruit taste like?

Accepted Answer

The shape, color, and taste of freeze-dried fruits is surprisingly original! All that is lost is the moisture. No drip. All crunch!

Question 3

How long is freeze-dried fruit's shelf life?

Accepted Answer

Freeze-dried fruits have been known to last as long as 25 to 30 years. As long as the food stays in a moisture-free environment, no spoilage will occur.

Question 4

Why does freeze-dried fruit sometimes get gummy?

Accepted Answer

Freeze-dried fruit can become gummy due to exposure to moisture. At The Fruit Box Co, we take pride in offering high-quality freeze-dried fruit and candies. The freeze-drying process removes almost all the water content from the fruit, leaving it crisp and lightweight. However, if the fruit is exposed to humid air or moisture during storage, it can reabsorb water, leading to a gummy texture. To maintain the crispiness, we recommend storing your freeze-dried fruit in an airtight container in a cool, dry place. This will help preserve its texture and delicious flavor, ensuring you get the best snacking experience from our products.

Intricate. Infused. Bursting. Crunch.
