Freeze Dried Blueberries
 Blueberries contain antioxidants – primarily anthocyanadins which give them their deep purple color.
They are also high in potassium and are a good source of fiber. They are wonderfully crunchy in yogurt, trail mix and granola. My children just eat them out of their hands!
1 pound of freeze dried blueberries
is equivalent to 10 pounds of fresh berries.

It is all about the colors of the food you eat!!
If you are looking for the best places to get antioxidants, look for foods that have deep rich colors and look for the colors of the rainbow. Carotene is orange, lutein is dark yellow, lycopene is red, some other antioxidants like anthocyanadins and anthocyanins are purple and blue, as you see in blueberries, boysenberries and blackberries.
We offer whole and powdered freeze dried fruit, free of pesticides and herbicides. In addition, some berries are now Certified Organic! Because of the freeze drying process, fruit retains its nutritious and healthful properties without the need for preservatives. Freeze dried fruit is great in flavoring almost any recipe, including smoothies, homemade ice creams, trail mixes, yogurt, kefir, etc.
Freeze dried berries and fruits are the most nutritional way to get fruit when it is out of season. While fresh berries are generally in the stores for a few weeks each year, the only other alternative is to purchase frozen berries. But sometimes these are even scarce. By contrast, freeze dried berries do not require any refrigeration. They retain nutrients well, and the flavors are so concentrated you only need a small amount for your favorite drinks, dips, smoothies, dressing, etc. Unlike fresh fruit, which is only available for a short time before it molds, freeze dried fruit will last 18 months as long as it is stored in a cool dry place.
How are the berries freeze dried?
Ripe, fresh fruit is quickly chilled to temperatures below zero and at the very cold temperatures the moisture in the fruit is removed by a vacuum. Freeze dried fruit melts in your mouth and is crunchy. Use the whole fruit for your cereal, trail mix, or eat by the handful. Use the powdered berries for smoothies and drinks.
When we repackaged all these fruits for the first time, I found my children going through the garbage pulling the old packaging material out, turning it inside out, and licking them clean. They had berry powder all over them, but they absolutely loved it. So I took some pictures to share with you.
