Benefits of Freeze Drying Food

Freeze dried food is preserved at a low temperature (freezing to -40 F) causing no damage to the nutrition of the food.  Bottling, canning and dehydrating use higher temperatures that can destroy up to 50% of food value loosing flavour, colour and texture .  Freeze drying does not change the nutrition, flavour, colour, shape, or aroma and does not cause shrinking or toughen the food.  Some commercially freeze dried foods may contain preservatives and can be expensive to buy.

Freeze dried foods can be re hydrated quickly just by adding water and taste and look the same as when it was fresh!

Less Food Waste Saving You Money

The total amount of food wasted in New Zealand is not really known.  It is estimated that approximately 12% or over $1 billion of household food purchased is wasted each year and the cost of food is steadily rising. Then there is the food wasted from the vegetable garden, fruit trees that are all ripe at the same time and foods not eaten fast enough before they go off! With a freeze dryer you can easily preserve foods that are normally thrown away.

100 + Foods Can Be Freeze Dried

Fruit, vegetables, whole meals, herbs, meats, eggs, dairy, snacks, desserts, pet food can all easily be freeze dried.  In fact any food can be freeze dried. Fresh or cooked food can be freeze dried in the quantities that suit you and your needs for storage.

What Can Be Freeze Dried

Long Term Keeping Time of Freeze Dried Food

When properly packaged freeze dried food can be kept for up to 25 years using moisture and oxygen proof packaging like Mylar Bags and Oxygen Absorbers.  No refrigeration is needed. You can store your freeze dried food in glass jars/containers for short term use and vacuum seal for medium/longer use too.

How Does A Freeze Dryer Work?

• Fresh or cooked food is put into the freeze dryer on a tray and frozen to -40 F or colder. This is called lyophilization.
• Once frozen the food is vacuumed and the moisture in the food evaporates and changes from solid to gas without going through the liquid state. The water vapour is discarded.
• Freeze drying can take approximately 24 to 36 hours.
• When completely freeze dried package the food. Put into moisture and oxygen proof packaging like Mylar Bags using Oxygen Absorbers for long term keeping of up to 25 years.  Place in glass jars and containers for short term immediate use and also vacuum seal for medium term storage.
• When ready to eat add water to the food to regain its original freshness, nutrition and appearance.

Harvest Right Freeze Dryers Are Easy To Use And Maintain

Harvest Right freeze dryers are small enough to fit on a bench or counter top, or put on a trolley and have the ability to preserve large quantities of food.

Connect the vacuum pump plug into the freeze dryer will dry the food without any human input.  It senses the moisture in the food and will automatically dry it.  It takes about a day to freeze dry a batch of food and it can be a combination of different foods at the same time.
