Organic freeze-dried dishes

As you can see, organic farming is becoming increasingly popular these days. This is hardly surprising, given its health benefits. As freeze-drying of food is applicable to everyone, some companies are taking it upon themselves to produce organic freeze-dried dishes.

Where can you find them?

Freeze-dried meals are not generally available. Organic products, as we often see them on the shelves, are expensive. They come from farming without any specific inputs, just natural ingredients. This doesn't make their development easy. Also, production yields are not high. To compensate for this, they are sold at a slightly higher price than intensively farmed products. Few companies take the risk of investing in this field. We're not aware of all the ones that do, but we can tell you about some popular ones. Brands with a proven track record in the organic sector include :

• LYO FOOD: of Polish origin, this company brews all types of freeze-dried foods.
• Its organic products comply with government standards;
• VOYAGER: like M×3, this is also a French brand of organic products. In France, these two companies have a proven track record in organic freeze-dried products.

This list may grow over time, as new competitors on the market try to follow in the footsteps of these pioneers. When you need organic freeze-dried food, don't hesitate to turn to us. We have a number of organic products from these leading suppliers.
