Dried versus freeze-dried: what's the difference?
You can buy dried fruit from us in two popular varieties: dried and freeze-dried. But what exactly makes the difference? How are our dried fruits produced and which method suits your taste preferences better? The key to crunchy happiness lies in the drying process, which affects not only the consistency but also the taste of the fruit.
Dried fruit - irresistibly soft and aromatic
Drying or dehydrating fresh fruit creates a real explosion of flavor! The fruit and berries are gently dried at low heat in special drying appliances or ovens. The best thing about this is that the full flavor is not only retained, it becomes even more intense. Whether dried as a whole berry, in slices or in small pieces - the natural sweetness is enhanced by the loss of water. This makes the fruit an irresistibly tasty snack. To ensure that the drying process works perfectly, care is taken to ensure that the fruit remains at a good distance from each other during drying and does not stick together. This gives you a wonderfully soft dried fruit that not only keeps for a long time, but also tastes heavenly!
Freeze-dried fruit - just like fresh from the field
Freeze-drying leaves the fruit itself virtually unchanged. They only become more intense in taste! The particularly gentle process removes almost all the water from the fruit without damaging it, thus preserving the color, shape and full flavor. It does take a while and is a little laborious, but the result is a delicious, crunchy dried fruit that will delight you with its intense aroma.
No matter who your personal favorite is and which of our dried fruits you want to buy online: Both varieties have a long shelf life and are packed with nutrients. So it all depends on whether you prefer soft and juicy or crunchy!
