Freeze Dried Apple Wedges - 100g

Freeze Dried Apple Wedges

Freeze Dried Apple Wedges from Forager Food Co. are made from premium Tasmanian apples, carefully washed, cut into wedges, and then freeze-dried to preserve their natural sweetness, texture, and nutritional benefits. The result is a crunchy, full-flavoured product that maintains the true essence of fresh apples, perfect for adding texture and complexity to a wide variety of dishes.

Freeze-drying is a preservation process that involves freezing the product and then placing it in a vacuum chamber where water is removed through ‘sublimation’. This process preserves a more intense flavour and maintains a crisp, light texture, unlike traditionally dried foods that can become tough or chewy. It retains the full, natural flavour and texture, making it ideal for dishes where texture, purity, and flavour intensity are key.
