Tag: Freeze dried candy nutrition

The freeze-drying process removes water from food but does not eliminate calories, fat, or carbohydrates. This means that freeze-dried candy retains all the carbs found in its original, non-freeze-dried form. While the texture changes, the underlying nutritional composition, especially the sugar content, remains the same.

Freeze-drying technology can remove up to 99% of a food's original water content, but it does not remove the energy-providing nutrients. This is why, despite their light and airy texture, freeze-dried candy still has calories, and in many cases, a higher calorie-per-gram density than its original form.
