Are freeze-dried fruits healthy and what is the difference in nutritional value compared to regular fruits?
What Is Freeze-Dried Food?
Freeze-drying technology, the full name is called vacuum freeze-drying technology. It refers to the quick-freezing of fresh fruits or vegetables immediately after picking. Low temperature to -40 ℃, and then the ice-like ingredients through the vacuum dehydration technology. The solid water is sublimated directly into a gaseous state. No liquid is passed in between. This does not destroy the original organizational structure. The color, aroma, taste and shape of the product can be retained, and the nutrients can be retained by more than 95%.
After freeze-drying treatment of fruit products, the dehydration rate is more than 95%. Without any preservatives, it can be kept under dry and sealed room temperature for more than one year.
When you enjoy a 20g bag of freeze dried fruits, you have actually supplemented the nutrients of fresh fruit equivalent to about ten times its weight.
Real freeze-dried food is nutritious and especially suitable for women in the early stages of pregnancy. Eat than the same volume of fresh fruit to reduce the symptoms of nausea and vomiting, the average person consumption is also very beneficial.
• Freeze-drying is is vacuum pump low temperature drying. Production and processing of vegetables and fruits after the nutrients are almost not destroyed. All do not need to add any preservatives, additives.
• All year round can eat seasonal vegetables and fruits (anti-seasonal vegetables and fruits taste poor, cost increase, not suitable for doing dry frozen).
• Storage resistance, lightweight, easy to carry. Whether it is home travel or in outer space (astronauts in outer space is the vast majority of freeze-dried goods) freeze-dried is the best food. That is, it can satisfy the hunger and hunger can also be supplemented with nutrients.
• Freeze-dried vegetables and fruits can not only promote farmers to generate income, but also to deal with fruit inventory backlog.
What Are Differences Between Fresh Fruit And Freeze Diced Dried Fruit?
Fresh fruits and vegetables are perishable, and freeze diced dried fruit is a good choice.In 2015, a team of scientists conducted a study on freeze-dried fruits and vegetables, which showed that the nutrients retained by fruits and vegetables varied during the freeze-drying process. Strawberries, for example, retain vitamin C and phenolic acid (a compound that fights cancer), but freeze-dried strawberries lose some anthocyanins.
Freeze-dried mangoes also retain most of their vitamin C, but they have 26 percent less beta-carotene. Other nutrient-rich freeze-dried foods include carrots and apples. Both preserve 95 percent of their carotenoids, and apples preserve 90 percent of their vitamin C. This means that freeze-dried fruits and vegetables are an effective way to get vitamins and minerals. But the best way to get the fullest range of nutrients is from fresh produce.
If you struggle with obesity, then removing water from food is likely to be counterproductive. Looking at a food's energy density, also known as the calorie count. It is a reliable way to choose healthy foods. The less water a food has, the more it weighs. This means it has a higher energy density.
Foods with more water and lower energy density make us feel fuller for longer. Many studies have shown that when people lower the energy density of their diets by eating more fresh fruits, vegetables, salads, soups and other water-rich foods, they naturally reduce their total calorie intake. Incorporating more low-density foods into your diet can lead to a healthier diet.
In 2017, a report from Pennsylvania State University showed that the energy density of our food affects not only our stomachs, but also our brains, hormones, and other aspects of our physiology. In other words, not only can you fill your stomach with water-rich food, it benefits every organ in your body.
If you're a backpacker, an astronaut, or an office worker in need of an energy boost, freeze-dried fruits and vegetables make perfect sense.
What Are The Differences Between "Real" And "Fake" Freeze-Dried Fruit?
Currently, there are still "fake" freeze-dried fruits on the market, i.e., fruits that have been deep-fried in a vacuum at low temperatures. The appearance and taste of "fake" freeze-dried fruits are similar to that of "real" freeze-dried fruits, but the difference in nutritional content is large. When consumers buy freeze-dried fruit, they should pay attention to the distinction between vacuum freeze-drying and vacuum low-temperature frying.
First of all, consumers should check the food labeling, "fake" freeze diced dried fruit ingredient list has "vegetable oil" words, while the "real" freeze-dried fruit does not. Secondly, "fake" freeze-dried fruit smell oil flavor, "real" freeze-dried fruit fruit fruit flavor is more obvious. Finally, "fake" freeze-dried fruits ooze oil when placed on paper towels. The "real" freeze-dried fruits will not. The fat content of freeze-dried banana slices is 1 gram per 100 grams, while "fake" freeze-dried banana slices contain 30 times more fat than "real" freeze-dried banana slices. Most fresh fruits contain less than 1% fat, but after vacuum deep-frying, the fat content can increase to 10-15%. Therefore, both "real" and "fake" freeze-dried fruits should be consumed in moderation.
What About Freeze Diced Dried Fruit's Dosage?
