Freeze-Dried Strawberries

Freeze-Dried Strawberries have an intense red color and taste sweeter than fresh strawberries. They come in the form of whole fruit, grits or powder. They are produced when strawberries undergo a dehydration process. The fruit is first frozen and then dried under pressure. Freeze-Dried Strawberries retain their freshness much longer than fresh products such as fruit. Excess water is removed from the fruit, but the essential vitamins and micronutrients are retained. To produce 1 ton of Freeze-Dried Strawberries, about 10 tons of frozen fruit are used.

Freeze-Dried Strawberries do not contain additional sugar and are crunchy – moisture content is about 3%. This affects the preservation of the properties of Freeze-Dried Strawberries and prevents the development of bacterial flora. The product is light, its dry weight is about 10%, which affects its transportability. When water is added, freeze-dried products regain their original properties. Freeze-Dried Strawberries are an excellent source of vitamin C, but also vitamins A, B, PP and E, iron, calcium, phosphorus, magnesium and iron.
