What is Freeze-Drying?Updated 5 months ago
It sounds fancy but freeze-drying has actually been around for a while. Think of your two-minute noodles. Both the noodles and the tiny peas and carrots are freeze-dried. Coffee is freeze-dried. Your camping food is freeze-dried and a lot of the food used in the military and by astronauts is the same.
Simplified, freeze-drying is a process that extracts the water from the food. Given that water is the main ingredient of everything, you end up with a dry product that weighs about 4 times less – but with all of the nutritional content of the food completely intact.
Because the freeze-dried food contains no water, the food cannot go off. So you can just keep it in the cupboard. When you’re ready to feed your pet, just add warm water to the dry ingredients and the food will be reconstituted back to its original raw form within 20 seconds. During this time, the aroma of the fresh ingredients will be released.
It’s exactly like feeding raw food, without any of the hassles. And your pet will wait eagerly for their warm, fresh bowl of food – Every. Single. Time.
