What is freeze-dried papaya?

What does lyophilization mean?

In this process, papayas are quickly frozen at very low temperatures. The remaining crystals formed in the vacuum are slowly removed. When dried in this way, papayas retain up to 98% of their nutritional value, and the taste and smell are the same as fresh ones. Freeze-dried papayas retain all their basic characteristics, such as color, shape, size, taste, texture, as well as nutrients. Depending on the type of packaging, freeze-dried products have a shelf life of up to 25 years. No additives are needed to preserve the products, so the result is much healthier than other drying methods. In comparison, dehydration retains about 50-60% of the product’s nutritional value. Freeze-dried food is considered unprocessed, raw, because the process takes place at temperatures below 40 °C. To better understand the price of the product, it should be noted that about 15 kg of fresh papaya are needed to produce 1 kg of freeze-dried papaya.
