Freeze-dried foods are both lightweight because most of the moisture has been removed.
Product & engineering
Understand the product.
Freeze-dried foods are both lightweight because most of the moisture has been removed.
Freeze-dried formulas use low temperatures and pressure to remove moisture
Frozen food is placed in a vacuum chamber where the temperature remains below freezing. As the pressure and temperature changes, the ice crystals (moisture) in the food are vaporized rather than evaporated. The freeze-drying process prevents the moisture in the food from becoming a liquid before it is removed. Freeze-dried foods are the closest alternative to a raw diet. These foods can be found in a formed shape like nuggets or patties, and well as flaked or granular mixes. Freeze-dried foods can be rehydrated with water before feeding, or fed directly from the package.
Frozen, also called Fresh-Prepared, comes in raw or cooked (not processed) form, Part of this growing trend is the commercialization of home-made dog food for pet owners who want the same quality, but do not have the time or expertise to make it themselves;Frozen, also called Fresh-Prepared, comes in raw or cooked (not processed) form, Part of this growing trend is the commercialization of home-made dog food for pet owners who want the same quality, but do not have the time or expertise to make it themselves.
