Harvest Right Small Home Freeze Dryer

Patented technology preserves the taste, nutrition, and texture of nearly any food for up to 25 years. Perfect for freeze drying fruits, vegetables, meats, dairy products, meals, desserts, and more.

Benefits of Freeze Drying

• Preserve the taste of any type of food. It will taste fresh, even up to 25 years later, just as it was when it was first harvested.
• Food maintains its same appearance, flavor, and nutritional content. Freeze drying does not cause it to shrink or toughen.
• In-Home Freeze Drying allows you to preserve large pieces of tasteful, high-quality food. You don’t have to settle for the small dice or shavings of fruit or meat that you find in store-bought, freeze-dried products. Prepare it and preserve it how you want it.

Better Than Canning and Dehydrating

As a food preservation method, it is easier than canning and dehydrating and will last 7 to 8 times longer. Just put your leftover meals and ripening fruits, vegetables, meats, and dairy in your own freeze dryer and press start. In about 20 to 36 hours, your food is ready to be packaged for a shelf life of up to 25 years.

Preserves Taste, Color, and Nutritional Value

Freeze drying is remarkable because it causes no damage to the nutrition of the food being preserved. Other methods of preservation, such as canning and dehydrating, use higher temperatures that can destroy more than half (50%) of the food value. Freeze drying does not shrink or toughen the food but retains the aroma, flavor, color, shape, and nutritional content. Simply add water. Apples, cheese, avocados, meat, raspberries, peas, ice cream, and yogurt will still look and taste fresh because, in reality, they still are. Without water and oxygen to spoil the food, it is as if the food has been placed in a time capsule. It will last and last and last!

Freeze-Dry Large Pieces of Food and Complete Meals

A Harvest Right Home Freeze Dryer allows you to preserve large pieces of tasteful, high-quality food, such as apricot halves, thick peach slices, large slabs of cooked steak, whole shrimp, ice cream sandwiches, and a lot more. You don’t have to settle for the small dice or shavings of fruit or meat that you find in store-bought, freeze-dried products. Prepare it and preserve it how you want it.

Cuts Down on Food Waste

Leftover meals, including overly ripe fruits and vegetables, that are typically wasted and thrown away may be freeze-dried until you are ready to eat them. Studies have shown that the average family of four throws away 40% of the food they purchase each year, a value equal to $2,250 or more. Families can avoid much of this waste and preserve large quantities of high-quality food that would normally be put in the garbage.

Your Food, Your Needs

Prepackaged, processed meals typically include unhealthy additives, such as sodium nitrate, high-fructose corn syrup, trans fats, monosodium glutamate (MSG), food dyes, and colors. When you freeze dry at home, your food is untainted. It will accommodate any dietary need, including food allergies, and vegetarian, or vegan needs. It is perfect for a non-preservative or non-GMO (genetically modified organisms) diet that is designed for a healthy lifestyle.

New and Modern Approach

Freeze drying food is a relatively new process and our Home Freeze Dryer has revolutionized household food preservation. For a detailed explanation of how Home Freeze Drying has changed the food preservation process, we’ve created a white paper—available as a FREE download—describing freeze drying and the history of food preservation.

Nutrition

Freeze drying is remarkable because it causes no damage to the nutrition of the food being preserved. It typically retains 97% of the nutritional value. Other methods of preservation, such as canning and dehydrating, use higher temperatures that destroy much of the food value.
