Nowadays more customers are demanding healthier foods and products containing bioactive compounds that improve both physical and mental health. Fruit and vegetable consumption is a key factor in human bodily functions, and their intake is an essential element in maintaining mental and physical health. According to the latest research, fruit should be eaten 2-3 times a day and twice as many vegetables. These foods are a source of many valuable nutrients and functional elements.

Fresh fruit and vegetables have a limited shelf life, and that is why our team has found a way to extend it while preserving the valuable nutrients they contain. After exploring all product preservation methods, we have chosen freeze-drying.

Why? The reasons are quite simple.

Freeze-drying (also known as lyophilisation) is a modern method for dehydrating food at low temperatures under vacuum. Freeze-drying is a process in which a completely frozen product is exposed to vacuum conditions to remove water by sublimation, thus transforming the ice from a solid to a gas, bypassing the water phase, which is good for preserving all the valuable properties and nutrients of a product. Compared to products obtained by other drying methods such as conventional and microwave drying, freeze-dried products are distinguished by a higher content of biologically active nutrients (95-98%) compared to fresh products, preservation of colour and porosity, minimal change in shape and lower water activity.
