Freeze Dried Sweets: Frequently Asked Questions
What are freeze-dried sweets?
Freeze-dried sweets are your favourite traditional sweets transformed through a freeze-drying process that removes almost all moisture. The result is an ultra-crunchy, airy sweet with an intensified flavour that melts on the tongue. All Freaze sweets are handmade in the UK using this process.
How are freeze-dried sweets made?
The freeze-drying process has three stages: the sweets are frozen to around -50°C, placed in a vacuum chamber where the ice turns straight from solid to vapour, then gently dried to remove any remaining moisture. The sweet looks similar to the original but is much crunchier, lighter and more intensely flavoured.
What do freeze-dried sweets taste like?
Freeze-dried sweets taste more intense than the original. Because the water is removed, what is left is a concentrated hit of flavour: a freeze-dried cola sweet tastes more of cola, a fruity sweet delivers a bigger fruit punch. Instead of chewy, you get a crunch that melts almost instantly on the tongue.
How long do freeze-dried sweets last?
Stored in a cool, dry place away from moisture, Freaze freeze-dried sweets can last up to 12 months or more unopened. Once opened, reseal the pack and eat them within 2 to 3 weeks for the best taste and texture. They do not need refrigeration.
How should I store freeze-dried sweets?
