Can freeze-dried fruits and vegetables replace fresh fruits for edible?

Fresh fruits and vegetables have many benefits for the human body, but they have the disadvantages of being inconvenient to carry and difficult to preserve. Can freeze-dried fruits and vegetables replace fresh fruits?

Freeze dried fruits and vegetables.

The use of vacuum freeze-drying technology for freeze-drying processing of fruits and vegetables does not damage their original organizational structure, but also maintains their color, aroma, taste, and shape.

Compared with traditional methods such as salting and drying, freeze-dried fruits and vegetables can indeed retain the nutritional content of food to a large extent.

When customers buy freeze-dried fruits and vegetables, they should pay attention to distinguishing between vacuum freeze-drying and vacuum low-temperature frying. Check the food label, and the ingredient list for vacuum low-temperature fried fruits and vegetables shows "vegetable oil".

Can frozen fruits and vegetables be used instead of fruits and vegetables?

The answer is no.

Although most of the nutritional components of freeze-dried fruits and vegetables are preserved, the production cost is high, and the price of freeze-dried fruits and vegetables is generally about five or six times that of fresh fruits and vegetables.

Fruits and vegetables undergo dehydration, resulting in reduced water content, increased sugar content, and less satiety, making it easy to consume excessive amounts of sugar.

If you really don't have the conditions to eat fresh fruits and vegetables, you can use freeze-dried fruits and vegetables instead.
