Freeze-dried staples The question of food preservation has long been subject to many challenges. Given the role of food in human life, this is understandable. Recently, we've been able to get our hands on a most useful and effective solution. Freeze-drying is a process for preserving food products by dehydrating them while preserving their flavor. In detail, the food is frozen and then completely dried to remove the water. All you have to do is add water, and the food is back in shape. This technology offers the best results when it comes to preserving food products (especially snacks), and preserves a good level of nutrients in the food. What foods can be freeze-dried? Based on the principle of freeze-drying, the more water a food contains, the more promising it is to preserve it using this technology. Water is the main factor favoring freeze-drying. So, with the exception of overly sweet, salty or oily products such as honey, all foods can be freeze-dried. Foods often subject to this process include fruit (slightly sweetened), vegetables, meat, cheese and hot drinks. To enrich your culture and provide you with a new experience, we offer a wide range of freeze-dried products in our showcase. We have something for every taste, at prices to suit your wallet.

Freeze-dried food is an option that will save you space in your bag. This type of food weighs next to nothing. It's easy to transport and can be stored for a long time, as long as the packaging remains unopened. The nutritional values of the products are preserved and even enhanced.

Even the toughest meals can be stored for as little as a week. Since the aim of freeze-drying is preservation, freeze-dried meals hold up best in the competition.
