Some Ways To Experiment With Freeze Dried Foods

What-Are-Some-Ways-To-Experiment-With-Freeze-Dried-FoodsSo you enjoy consuming foods like freeze-dried fruit straight from the container? We agree! However, it's time to change things if you enjoy experimenting with foods to create new experiences. Freeze dried foods can be used for a variety of tasty products like smoothies, jellos, baked goods, and more. Below we will discuss several creative ways for your consumers to enjoy freeze-dried fruit. We will also review the advantages of freeze-dried fruit in terms of nutrition. For more than 30 years, Shepherd Foods has provided businesses in the food sector with tasty, wholesome food items. You, too, can provide high quality freeze dried food products for your customer base: here are some ideas for sprouting some inspiration!
  • Pancakes
  • Muffins
  • Sprinkles & frostings
  • Fruit smoothies
  • Oats & cereals
  • Yogurt

Pancakes

Everyone likes pancakes, right? People of all ages enjoy them, and it's one of the simplest breakfast dishes to make. You can top pancakes with freeze-dried fruit in two different ways. One way is to include it directly into the pancake batter. Alternatively, use freeze-dried fruits as a topping while cooking for children to ensure that no pancake is wasted. Make little pancakes for youngsters and top them with various freeze-dried fruit garnishes. For a vibrant and impressive breakfast, serve everything on one platter. Strawberries are a popular pick, but you can also use blueberries, pears, bananas, raspberries, dragon fruit, kiwi, and many other fruits. Don't forget the butter and pancake syrup for a tasty sugar fix!

Muffins

Why not mix the two if you have a taste for a baked treat but don't want excess calories? With a healthy meal partner like freeze dried foods, you can balance out this delicious delight. Choose freeze-dried blueberry muffins for a fantastic concept. They are ideal for school gatherings, celebrations, and even bake sales. Show off your baking prowess to your loved ones. Blueberries are overflowing with taste and loaded with vitamins and antioxidants. They are also a safe, natural way to reduce blood pressure. Because blueberries are a seasonal fruit, it is much easier to keep blueberries on hand when they have been freeze-dried: up to 25 years as a matter of fact! Open up production during offtimes more easily with the help of freeze drying methods.

Sprinkles and frostings

Another wonderful thing about freeze-dried fruit is that it can also be used as a topping for baked goods. The fruit can be smashed or ground down and used as sprinkles on top of cookies and other baked products because of how dry it is in consistency. If you become tired of using the same sprinkles and sugar powder from the shop, there is a terrific way to switch things up. Freeze-dried fruit powder is ideal for frostings as well. Experience a fruity delight on your cupcakes and desserts simply by adding the powder to your icing. Bright fruit will create a vibrant outcome for your food displays.

Fruit Smoothies

It is common knowledge that fresh, raw, pureed, and frozen fruits work great for fruit smoothies. Not everyone is aware that freeze-dried fruit is also a wonderful complement to these pick-me-ups. The freeze-dried fruit can be added whole or crushed for smooth mixing. Add any freeze-dried fruit to the smoothie after choosing a foundation flavor. Thickeners can be used to increase the taste.  Depending on your preferences, you may use greek yogurt, almond butter, peanut butter, or vanilla yogurt. Any liquid base will do. It works nicely with water, almond milk, whole milk, coconut milk, or fruit juice. Flax seeds, Chia seeds, vanilla extract, fresh mint, cinnamon, or honey are optional additions for more taste and nutrients.

Oats, Cereals, and Freeze-dried foods

Put an end to the monotonous cereal and milk morning routine! Combine cooked oats with your preferred milk and freeze-dried fruit. It is simple to make and is certain to be nutrient-dense. Freeze-dried fruits are healthy on their own, but consider all the advantages of this breakfast when mixed with oatmeal.  Yes, oatmeal is excellent for the heart. It also decreases bad cholesterol and aids with blood sugar regulation. Strawberries, blueberries, and bananas should all be included to maximize the health benefits. More toppings, such as walnuts, dried plums, sunflower seeds, cinnamon, and a drizzle of delectable maple syrup can be added to complete the experience.

Yogurt

In case you didn't know, many yogurt brands have already been combining freeze-dried fruit in their recipes. Although we know and appreciate the health benefits of yogurt, eating plain yogurt is not very enjoyable to most people. Therefore, we can benefit from whoever had the brilliant idea of pairing yogurt with freeze-dried fruit! With little modifications like these, your consumers' midday snacks can be both delicious and healthful. Add freeze-dried raspberries, cherries, blackberries, and crunchy granola for a special treat. The freeze-dried fruit can be crushed or blended to enhance the yogurt flavor. We hope you will gain some inspiration from these creative ways to serve freeze dried foods to your customers.
