Freeze Dried Banana
About this product
Banana with all the sweetness and none of the squash. Ripe fruit is sliced, frozen hard, then dried under vacuum so the sugars concentrate instead of caramelising. The result is light, brittle and far more banana-tasting than the chewy fried chips most people know.
Worth knowing: these are not banana chips. Chips are deep fried in oil and usually sweetened. This is fruit and nothing else.

How to use it

Storage
Reseal the jar tightly after every use and keep it out of humidity. Once it takes on moisture the snap is gone for good.
How long does it keep once opened?
Sealed and kept somewhere cool and dry, several months. Once opened, close the jar firmly straight after every use. Freeze-dried food pulls moisture out of ordinary air quickly, and once it softens the crispness does not come back.
Is this the same as dehydrated or sun-dried?
No. Dehydrated usually means hot-air dried at 60 to 80 degrees, which darkens the food, drives off the aroma and leaves it chewy. Freeze-drying applies no heat at all — the food is frozen, then the ice is drawn off under vacuum. The colour, aroma and structure survive.
Has any sugar or preservative been added?
No. Nothing has been added to this product beyond what is stated on the label. Removing the water is what preserves it, so no chemical preservative is needed. Any sweetness you taste came with the food itself.
Do I need to refrigerate it?
No. Store it at room temperature in a sealed jar, away from direct sun and away from steam. A cupboard is ideal. Do not keep it beside the stove or the sink.
How do I rehydrate it?
Cover with warm water and leave for five to ten minutes, depending on how thick the pieces are. Vegetables can also go straight into anything with enough liquid — soups, dals and curries — and will rehydrate as it cooks.
