I saw some small packets of raspberries and coconut that were freeze dried on special at supermarket  (still pricey at half price) and the berries/coconut was light crispy and very flavoursome.

It’s totally different to dehydrated food.

I’m really smitten by the freeze dried food.
Reading up about it, retains over 90% nutrients and lasts 25-30 years, whereas dehydrated food retains 70% nutrients and lasts 3-5 years.

So I ordered a freeze dryer for around $600 for one that’s not going to take you too much bench space in the laundry.

Can’t wait to use it and put up pics.
Hope I’m not going to be disappointed.
Wait and see. Nothing ventured nothing gained.
