Freeze-Dry and Dehydration Process

This process submitted by Wise Foods.

Dependable, simple and affordable Ready-Made Food Storage Meals from Wise Foods.

We take a very unique and innovative approach to the long-term storage of food and emergency preparedness. The ready-made entrees include both freeze-dried and dehydrated components, depending upon the food component.

Through extensive research, evaluation, and testing, we have combined both freeze-dried and dehydrated products together to ensure optimal taste, texture and nutritional value.

Expensive ingredients such as peas, carrots and other vegetables are generally freeze-dried. Other ingredients like noodles and onions actually taste better when dehydrated.

By utilizing freeze-dried and dehydrated foods, we offer meals that are ready made and guaranteed to be fresh when reconstituted - even after 25 years or more, when kept in optimal conditions.

Freeze-Dried and Dehydrated Advantages:

1. Food maintains its original flavor, shape, color, and texture
2. Food retains its nutritional value
3. Food is condensed in size
4. With nearly all its water extracted, food is extremely light weight
5. With addition of water, food is quickly and completely reconstituted
6. Wise customers enjoy peace of mind because of the food's long shelf life

The Freeze-Dry Process:

With freeze-drying, the product is first flash frozen and then placed in a vacuum drying chamber. This process removes 98 percent of the water and moisture without affecting the taste, color, form or nutritional value of the food item.

The Dehydration Process:

With dehydration, food products move through a drying chamber where air removes the moisture from the food. This occurs at low temperatures so that the nutritional profile stays intact.

Testimonial from Stefan Mamual

"We went for four days eating nothing but Wise Foods, our kids loved it; they didn't get tired of it . . . In fact, while eating the cheesy lasagna, one of my twin 5 year old boys turned to me and said, 'Dad, this is the best noodles you ever made! . . . My wife and I are kind of picky eaters, and we really liked the meals. They didn't have the aftertaste of other freeze-dried food we've tried. We were pretty pumped about that!"

Above is the Cheesy Lasagna, the Cheesy Macaroni, and the Honey Glazed Granola. These are only a few of the foods available at Wise Foods.
