Freeze Drying
At More Toddler Meals, we use freeze drying to create baby food that’s not only convenient but also packed with nutrition and flavour. Wondering how freeze drying works and why it’s perfect for baby food? Let’s break it down.
The Freeze Drying Process
-
Freezing
First, we freeze the freshly prepared meals at extremely low temperatures. This step locks in the natural flavours, nutrients, and textures of the food while halting the growth of any bacteria. -
Vacuum Drying
Once the food is frozen, we place it in a vacuum chamber. Under low pressure, the frozen water in the food turns directly into vapor, skipping the liquid phase entirely—a process called sublimation. -
Sealing in Freshness
After the moisture is removed, the food is carefully packaged in airtight containers. This ensures it stays fresh and shelf-stable for months, without the need for preservatives.
Why Freeze Drying is Perfect for Baby Food
Freeze drying isn’t just a cool science—it’s a game changer for baby food. Here’s why:
-
Nutrient Retention
Unlike traditional drying or processing methods, freeze drying preserves up to 97% of the food’s nutrients. This means your baby gets all the goodness of fresh fruits, veggies, and meals, even months after preparation. -
Natural Flavour and Texture
Freeze drying keeps the natural flavours and textures intact. Once rehydrated, the food tastes just as fresh as the day it was made—perfect for little ones developing their palates. -
Convenience
Our freeze-dried meals are lightweight, compact, and easy to store. Whether you’re at home, traveling, or on the go, you can whip up a healthy meal for your baby in minutes—just add water! -
No Preservatives or Additives
By removing moisture, freeze drying naturally prevents spoilage, so there’s no need for artificial preservatives. Your baby gets pure, wholesome food, just as nature intended.
Convenient, Nutritious, and Delicious
At More Toddler Meals, we’re proud to use freeze drying to give your family the best of both worlds: the nutrition of homemade meals with the convenience of ambient food. With every bite, you can trust that your baby is getting the quality and care they deserve.
