Why Use Freeze-dried Ingredients?

What makes freeze-dried ingredients a fantastic addition to your home pantry?

• Retains nearly all nutritional value: 

The low-temperature freeze-drying process preserves approximately 97% of the nutritional content, including vitamins, minerals, and other bioactive compounds, unlike conventional drying methods that use high heat which can degrade them. 

• More potent flavour: 

By preserving the cellular structure and essential oils, freeze-drying locks in a concentrated, near-fresh flavour that is more intense and true-to-life than conventionally dried herbs. 

• Brighter colour: 

The process is much more effective at retaining the herb's original vibrant colour, which can fade with air-drying methods over time. 

• Quick and complete rehydration: 

When you reintroduce liquid, freeze-dried herbs quickly rehydrate, returning to a near-fresh state for cooking, while traditionally dried herbs can't achieve this same texture and flavour release. 

• Versatility in use: 

They are easy to use for cooking, baking, and making dressings, as they can be added directly to hot dishes or rehydrated in a liquid to create marinades and sauces. 

• High purity: 

The process relies on temperature and pressure changes, eliminating the need for any chemical additives, which results in a 100% pure product.
