Freeze-dried products are foods that have had most of their moisture removed through a process called freeze-drying. This method involves freezing the food and then placing it in a vacuum, where the ice turns directly into vapor, leaving behind a lightweight, shelf-stable product. Common examples include fruits, vegetables, and meals. These products retain most of their original flavor, nutrients, and texture, making them popular for camping, emergency supplies, and long-term storage. Freeze-dried fruits can be enjoyed as snacks, while freeze-dried meals are convenient options for outdoor enthusiasts and those seeking quick meal solutions.
