Overview
Freeze-dried blueberries keep up to 97% of their original nutrients while gaining a light, crunchy texture and a long shelf life. In this article we explore how the sublimation process works, why the fruit keeps its color and flavor, and how to use it in snacks, cereals and desserts.

Freeze-drying (lyophilization) removes almost all water from ripe blueberries under vacuum, without heat. The result is a crunchy berry that keeps its shape, color and most of its vitamins.
Because the water is removed directly from ice to vapor, the cell structure stays intact. That is why freeze-dried blueberries rehydrate in seconds in yogurt, oatmeal or baking batter.
At Fruiturez we freeze-dry whole berries within hours of harvest, pack them without added sugar, and ship them worldwide for snack brands, bakeries and cereal manufacturers.
