Food preservation has been happening since the beginning of time. Generations before us used various methods to preserve food when it was in short supply, and now days food waste is quite high. Many people bottle, can, dehydrate their food plus there is a lot of processed foods available. These methods can have drawbacks of nutrient loss, shrinkage, flavour and colour loss, preservative and food additives, and shorter keeping times than freeze drying. Now freeze drying can be achieved at home easily giving healthy meals, saving left overs, fruits, vegetables, dairy, meats, eggs and costs less than buying commercially freeze dried food.

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!

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.

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 or medium term or mylar bags for longer use.
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 and a heat sealer 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 and it 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.
