What happens when you freeze dry food? *candy, donuts & more*

Make your own pot noodle by freeze drying all the ingredients and then re hydrating it to eat it.

I heard that strawberries are amazing freeze dried. But I always wondered what bananas would taste like if you freeze dried them...

[@LilysCorner143]

I mean they don’t have a very high water content so it’s anyones guess but I think they’d turn brown or just freeze my making a smoothie bowl

[@Imjustkayhaha]

You can get freeze dried bananas and strawberries at the dollar store. I prefer the bananas as they turn into like a hard chip (they are called banana chips) and the strawberries tend to be sour and powdery.

[@EmblaBexell]

Whole freeze dried strawberries dipped in white chocolate are delicious!

[@grainneocruhuir6383]

They taste very banana-y

[@PromisedJubilee]

Freeze dried bananas in texture are just like the marshmallows in Lucky Charms cereal. Only, banana-y...

[@AnnaRocksIt]

Grace, if you love the freeze dried stuff and are curious about how the texture changes, then you should def try to make fizzy fruit by using dry ice! We need a whole section of „science with Grackle“!

[@Imjustkayhaha]

I agree!

[@marianna3253]

Probably just very garlicky dry (almost stale-like bread).

[@judithgreenwood6247]

Andean natives of Peru have freeze dried potatoes for centuries, using the natural dry cold of the nights to freeze, and the intense daytime sun of the equatorial region to dry. They’re fantastic, and are the base of a traditional dish called Carapulcra. It’s one of my world favorites. If you don’t look it up and try it, you’re a big chicken.

[@Rose-jz6sx]

Omg yeah!

[@zaidajones806]

Look into moon cheese! If it's actually freeze-dried like I think it is, then cheese should get crunchy and is actually really nice. I know you can find it at starbucks usually!!

[@cameronoden5691]

As a scientist who has had to use a freeze dryer for precise experiments, a few tips. For things with high hydration, just freezing in a normal freezer may not be enough. In the lab we would actually freeze samples with liquid nitrogen so they freeze dried properly. Also, depending on what you're freeze drying, it can actually take up to three full days to fully freeze dry. Considering the amount of items you freeze dried at once, and especially with how wet they were, the amount of time you freeze dried was pretty short.

[@oliviab9584]

Thursdays are officially my favourite day of the week!

[@entgoddessgardens8533]

Your sweater in the opening is positively adorable!!!

[@goibui7381]

Yes, your explanation was really good! The frozen food goes from ice to water vapor. The reason that the vacuum is needed is to lower the boiling point of water, so it just evaporates! (At least I think that’s what I learned in my food science lab 3 weeks ago). That’s what allows most of the shape/color of the food to be the same (rather than oven dried where things turn brown). And the reason a lot of things expanded was the trapped air inside the candy expanding in the vacuum! SCIENCE! In the lab we freeze dried food samples and are analyzing them all semester to compare the food to the nutrition label

[@goibui7381]

And maybe the lack of water makes the flavors more intense, a hypothesis

[@goibui7381]

And tacky foods may be from leaving the food out as the food will rehydrate from the water in the air. In the lab we use a desiccator to keep foods dry (like those silica beads in foods that say “do not eat”
