Frequently Asked Questions
1️⃣ Lyophilization - What is it?
Freeze-drying is a highly specialized drying process that allows almost complete preservation of the structure and chemical composition of the product due to the fact that we do not act on it with elevated temperature. In this case, the dried matter - usually food - is cooled to a low temperature, and then in a device called a freeze-dryer, water is removed from it under reduced pressure. Freeze-dried food has excellent resistance to long-term storage and extremely low weight.
2️⃣ What is the best freeze-dried food?
Each manufacturer of freeze-dried food is characterized by diverse compositions that are sure to appeal to outdoor enthusiasts. Our experience allows us to strongly recommend LyoFood freeze-dried food produced in Poland - we can find among them both delicious dinner dishes, nutritious breakfasts and desserts that boost our morale during long hikes. The packaging used by the manufacturer is also extremely user-friendly.
3️⃣ What can be freeze-dried?
Almost any type of food can be freeze-dried, due to the fact that the process has a negligible effect on the structure of the dried product. Thus, freeze-drying can be used for fruits, vegetables, as well as meat, eggs or grain products - such as pasta. As a curiosity, it can be added that not only food is freeze-dried - also various kinds of laboratory preparations - for example, fossil wood - are freeze-dried to fix its structure for further research.
4️⃣ Is freeze-dried food healthy?
By all means - freeze-drying is the best nutrient-preserving drying process, so freeze-dried foods retain almost identical qualities to their freshly prepared counterparts. Most importantly, the virtually complete deprivation of water means that there is no need to add any unhealthy preservatives to freeze-dried foods - whether synthetic preservatives or even excessive amounts of salt.
