In particular, they focused on <strong>sea buckthorn<\/strong> fruit. The results showed that the fruit retained <strong>93% more carotenoids, 34% more vitamin C and 11% more phenolic substances (such as antioxidants)<\/strong> when freeze-dried compared with air-drying. While there is some loss of vitamins through lyophilization, this is not unusual or unnatural. Similarly,<strong> fruit that is<\/strong> <strong>stored for longer periods of time<\/strong> <strong>loses its micronutrients.<\/strong> There is therefore no need to be concerned about the proportion of these substances. <span style=\"color: #ff6600;\">[1]<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:20px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>However, vitamins are not the only beneficial substances in fruits, we must not forget about <strong>phenolic compounds,<\/strong> which are one of the most important bioactive substances. And here we have good news for you. Studies have shown that their proportion can even be <strong>increased<\/strong> by freeze-drying. And it&#8217;s not just fruit.

The explanation is much simpler. Fresh fruit contains a <strong>high proportion of water,<\/strong> more specifically <strong>around 90%.<\/strong> However, if you deprive fruit of its water, which has no calories, by freeze-drying it, it becomes a much more concentrated source of nutrients. <span style=\"color: #ff6600;\">[5]<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:20px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>It&#8217;s probably obvious to you that you shouldn&#8217;t eat the same amount of freeze-dried and fresh fruit. Freeze-dried fruit should be handled with a little more care and not eaten by the handful like fresh fruit. However, if you put freeze-dried fruit in water, yoghurt or other liquids, it<strong> increases its volume<\/strong> and is much more filling. But it loses its crunch. Therefore, you have to consider what texture you want at that moment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:20px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>Wondering how many calories each fruit has?

Smells and tastes just like fresh fruit<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>When you open a packet of freeze-dried fruit, you may be surprised to find that <strong>its taste and aroma<\/strong> rivals that of fresh fruit. Even if a dried piece of strawberry is as light as paper and you think that it has virtually no taste, the opposite is true. As soon as you put it in porridge, yoghurt or in your mouth, the fruit <strong>absorbs the necessary moisture<\/strong> and starts to resemble fresh fruit even more.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:20px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">2. You can take it on the go<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>The fruit loses some of its properties due to the fact that it is deprived of water. Who has ever put a piece of fresh fruit in a backpack and when you took it out, it was an unsightly mass and the backpack was ripe for a good washing? That&#8217;s exactly what you don&#8217;t get with freeze-dried fruit. Even if pieces of freeze-dried fruit spill into your backpack, <strong>no problem<\/strong>, just shake them out and you&#8217;re done.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:20px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>In short, freeze-dried fruit is a practical food that <strong>you can take anywhere as a snack.<\/strong> It is ideal for work, college or trips, when you can certainly use it as a <strong>quick source of energy.<\/strong> And look out, it can even be taken into space. It loses up to 90% of its water during processing, so it&#8217;s as compact as possible.

If you bring very ripe fruit from the store or pick fresh from the garden, it may well start to rot or become mouldy the next day. There is absolutely no risk of this happening with freeze-dried fruit when stored properly. <strong>It can remain good for several months when stored in the pantry.<\/strong> Some manufacturers even claim that freeze-dried fruit lasts 25\u201330 years. However, we cannot confirm this.
