I/ Freeze-dried candies , what are they? 🚀

Astronaut candies or freeze -dried candies are candies from which most of the water they contain has been removed by a freeze-drying process , then sealed in an airtight case. They do not require refrigeration.

The flavor of astronaut candy is increased tenfold after the freeze-drying process. The size and texture of the candy will also be changed, that's the fun part!

But, what is freeze-drying for ?

To put it simply, freeze drying will remove all the moisture from the product. This increases the shelf life of food. These will be consumable for 25 years, but I'm sure you will have devoured your favorite freeze-dried candy long before then.😋

Freeze dried products do not require refrigeration, which is why astronauts take them on their rockets!

All foods can be freeze-dried. The fruits that you find in certain cereals are freeze-dried, for example. It is also possible to freeze-dry lots of super tasty snacks! Like cookies, candy bars and also ice cream (yes, yes)! For the moment, we only offer freeze-dried candies , but over time, I hope to be able to expand the range and discover new and stylish textures!

II/ How do freeze dried candy work?🤔

To freeze-dry the candies , we place them in a specialized machine coming directly from the United States.

The food is cooled to a temperature between -50 and -80 degrees Celsius.🥶Then the food is dried by applying two heat cycles and then the moisture is sucked out. At the end of the process, the water content of the food is very low. While heat-dehydrated foods are soft, freeze-dried foods break down and melt in your mouth!

Once freeze-dried, the candies are directly placed in a hermetically sealed bag, in order to preserve their texture and prevent them from retaining moisture. Make sure to always zip your resealable bag securely when tasting so that they retain their crunchy texture.

Because I am always transparent with you, my candy, the machine does not have a large capacity, it has a very high cost and the process lasts several hours, we then have to have them analyzed in a specialized laboratory, in order to calculate the nutritional values ​​of the freeze-dried product , this is why the candies have a higher price than the bulk candies that you can find on the site.

Moreover, regarding the nutritional values, they do not change much. They were even taken to the specialized laboratory to check the results. The nutritional values ​​differ by at least 5% only. 😊
