Preserving food has been a crucial part of human history, enabling us to maintain a constant food supply and store seasonal produce. Traditional methods such as canning, dehydrating, and smoking have been widely used for centuries, but they often come with their drawbacks. The Harvest Right Small Freeze Dryer is a game-changer, providing a better way to preserve food with minimal compromise on quality, flavour, and nutrition. Let's explore the benefits of having a Harvest Right Small Freeze Dryer in your home and how it can revolutionize your food preservation game.

One of the most significant advantages of the Harvest Right Freeze Dryer is its ability to preserve the nutritional value, flavour, and colour of the food.

This makes freeze-dried food an excellent choice for maintaining a healthy, flavourful diet all year round.

From fruit chips and veggie crisps to freeze-dried yogurt bites, the possibilities are endless. These snacks are perfect for school lunches, camping trips, or on-the-go snacking.

HOW DOES IT WORK?

The entire process is automatic.

  • Raw or cooked foods are placed in the freeze dryer where they are frozen to between -30 degrees and -50 degrees Fahrenheit.
  • Once frozen, the freeze dryer creates a vacuum in the food chamber.
  • As the food is gradually warmed, the water turns to vapor and evaporates out of the food (sublimation).
  • When dry, the freeze dryer notifies the user that the process is complete by sounding an audible beep.
  • You can then remove thefreeze-driedfood from the dryer and place it in vacuum-sealed containers that are moisture and oxygen-proof (preferably a mylar pouch or a can) to ensure freshness until opened.
  • When water is added to the food, it regains its original fresh flavor, aroma, texture, and appearance!
