What is Freeze-Drying, and Why Does It Matter?
Freeze-drying is a method of preservation that eliminates moisture in food **without applying heat**, which is important as it **preserves the original flavor, shape, color, and nutrients of the fruit**.
Three significant steps are involved in the process:
1. **Freezing** the fruit at very low temperature.
2. **Sublimation**, when the ice directly changes into vapor without first melting into water again.
3. **Sealing**, so that there is a shelf-stable product with an extended shelf life and preservative-free.
The payoff? A **crunchy, all-natural snack** that lasts for months—great for travel, baon, and even emergency food packs.
