Freeze-dried fruits are made using vacuum freeze-drying technology, where fresh fruits are quickly frozen at low temperatures and then dehydrated through sublimation. This process retains the original nutrients, color, and flavor. Compared to traditional drying methods, freeze-dried fruits are lighter, crispier, and have a longer shelf life without the need for preservatives. Common varieties include strawberries, mangoes, and blueberries. They are often used as healthy snacks, in breakfast cereals, or as baking ingredients. The freeze-drying process minimizes nutrient loss, making these fruits popular among health-conscious consumers.
