Tag: Rehydrating fruit

Over 50% of the nutrients are removed during the drying process for some fruits. Soaking dried blueberries before eating or baking is a common practice, but is it truly necessary or beneficial? The answer depends on your desired texture, the final recipe, and your personal digestive comfort.

Freeze-drying removes up to 99% of a fruit's moisture, locking in its flavor, color, and nutrients for long-term storage. When you add water, the process is reversed, causing the fruit to plump up and regain much of its original texture and size. The final result depends on the rehydration method used and the fruit type.
