Freeze-dried fruit VS Fresh fruit

What is the process of freeze drying?

1. With a freeze dryer, the fruit is frozen to minus 30 or 40 degrees and covered with many tiny ice crystals.
2. After the air is pumped, the pressure is lowered, and the sublimed water vapor is drained away.
3. After dozens of hours, the food loses moisture content.

• The most direct way is to look at the ingredients list, which should only have fruits and vegetables and no other ingredients.
