FAQ
Q: What is freeze-dried food?
A: It’s a process where food is first frozen then 99% of the moisture is removed through a vacuum. It intensifies the flavour and creates a light, airy texture.
Q: How long does it last?
A: As long as the bag stays sealed, it can last for years! Once opened, keep it zipped tight to maintain that signature crunch.
Q: Do you add extra sugar to your fruits?
A: Nope! It’s 100% fruit with no added preservatives or sugar.
Q: How is freeze-drying different than dehydrating?
A: See comparison chart below for the differences between dehydrating and freeze-drying.

Q: WHERE'S THE CANDY?!
A: We stand by our products being nutritionally-dense. Unfortunately candy doesn't fit that description. If you're looking for freeze-dried candy, there are lots of other producers out there but you won't find it here.
