What Is Freeze Dried Fruit? Well, for starters, it is absolutely AMAZING!!! Freeze Dried Fruit is the result of the chosen fruit after it makes it through the lengthy process of sublimation and lyophilization! What's that you ask? The Freeze Drying Process uses sublimation and lyophilization to create a perfectly preserved product. The products that undergo this process have an amazingly long shelf life when stored properly of up to 25 years.

Sublimation is the process of a substance changing directly from the solid to the gas phase. During this process, the fruit is frozen to a chilly -40 degrees.

Lyophilization is the process in which water is removed from the fruit after it is frozen and placed under a vacuum, allowing the ice to change directly from solid to vapor. During this process, the Freeze Dryers slowly heat the trays of frozen fruit creating fruit Vapor which is sucked out of the fruit with a high powered vacuum pump. While the vacuum pump is sucking the vapor from the frozen fruit, they dry into amazingly light and crunchy fruit, bursting with more flavor than ever before!!
