Because they love farming, they know that farmers must rely on Mother Nature because all it takes is one hailstorm or drought for their profits to plummet.
Because of these unexpected problems, researchers were looking for a better way to bring farmers' products to market. After some research, they realized that freezing might be the best solution.
Freeze-dried fruits and vegetables retain their freshness, nutrients, flavor, shape, and size without refrigeration, and you can save some damaged or drought-damaged produce. But most importantly, freeze-dried fruits and vegetables create a healthy, storage-resistant product for consumers in specialty food markets.
Farmers whose produce has been damaged by hail or drought. At this point, agricultural researchers saw an opportunity to help other farmers by purchasing their products while expanding their freeze-dried food business. The freeze-drying process preserves the flavor of the fruit, and everyone loves the way it tastes.
According to researchers, the freeze-drying process makes the fruits tastier and sweeter, which ultimately makes them taste better and more marketable. Since the food doesn't need to be refrigerated, it's only natural to distribute it to people displaced by disasters and to first responders who need healthy food to stay strong while responding to disasters. They believe freeze-dried food will help feed the hungry.
We are proud that freeze-drying technology has impacted so many people in so many positive ways. It can help farmers earn income from the produce they've been losing and feed people across the state who need healthy food. Ultimately, this creates a greater demand for crops grown in harsh conditions.
