Superior Freeze Dry Corporation recognizes that the freeze dry business is a truly global business and takes a totally global approach from the start. Many industries, including the general food industry, are increasingly working across national boundaries. Long shelf life, lightweight freeze dry products are ideal for situations where the food producers (farm, fishing boat, or factory) are far removed from the end user. The distance may be either long physical distances such as a Canadian blueberry to Japan, a backpacker in the wilderness, a soldier in the desert or long time between production and consumption.

Consumers are becoming more aware of good nutrition and healthy living and are more concerned about the quality of food they eat. With these new attitudes towards the way people eat, freeze dry products are growing in popularity.

Whenever possible, Superior Freeze Dry will process Canadian grown agricultural products to produce Superior results. We invite you to contact us for further product information.

Some of the major advantages of freeze dried foods are:

• The nutritional components and flavour remain unchanged: food is freeze dried in a low temperature environment removing water and oxygen, the primary causes of food deterioration, but the flavour, aroma and nutritional values remain unchanged



• Foods retain their original shape and texture: there is limited to no shrinkage because removal of water at low temperatures maintains the moisture channels and food fibers



• Foods retain their original colour: low temperatures reduce enzyme activity aiding in retention of original colour



• Foods rehydrate well: the process allows evenly distributed spaces to remain between the food fibers, much like a sponge, enabling the food to recover its original shape in a very quick period of time when water is added



• Foods stay fresh for years: freeze drying and packaging removes water and oxygen eliminating product deterioration. Properly packaged freeze dried food stored away from light and warm damp air will be good to eat 15 years or more from production.



• Foods are much lighter in weight: easier to store and handle, and less costly to transport



• Foods have multiple markets: can be used by the average consumer, food processors, hikers, campers, military, disaster relief, chain restaurants and other users.
