Freeze Dried Strawberry
About this product
The one everybody recognises. Whole and halved strawberries, frozen and vacuum-dried until they are light enough to float and crisp enough to snap. The red stays red because no heat ever touches them.
Children tend to empty the jar first. Consider yourself warned.

How to use it

Storage
Reseal firmly and keep somewhere cool and dry, away from the sink and the stove.
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.
