Frequently asked questions
How long does freeze dried food last?
Properly packaged freeze dried food can last for decades. ReadyWise freeze dried meals, fruits, vegetables and meats are sealed in oxygen-barrier pouches and buckets and rated for up to 25 years when stored in a cool, dry place. Once opened, most items are best used within a few weeks.
Is freeze dried food healthy?
Yes. Freeze drying removes water at low temperatures, so it preserves most of a food's original vitamins, minerals, protein and fiber better than high-heat methods like canning or conventional dehydrating. Freeze dried fruit and vegetables are simply the whole food with the water removed.
What is the difference between freeze dried and dehydrated food?
Dehydrated food is dried with warm air and typically keeps about 1 year and loses some texture and nutrients. Freeze dried food has its water removed by freezing and vacuum, which removes more moisture, keeps more of the original taste and nutrition, rehydrates faster and lasts up to 25 years.
How do you prepare freeze dried food?
Add hot or cold water, stir, and let it sit for about 10 to 15 minutes. Freeze dried fruit can also be eaten straight from the pouch as a crunchy snack, and freeze dried meats and vegetables can be added directly to soups, casseroles and other recipes.
