Hello! I love experimenting with desserts too, and freeze-dried bananas are a great ingredient. Here are some ideas where I use them: I tried to make a banana muffin. It turned out very tasty! Freeze-dried bananas can be ground into a powder and added to muffin batter. They give a bright banana flavor and make baking more aromatic. I usually add about 2 tablespoons of powder for every cup of flour. I'm also thinking of trying to make banana ice cream and cookies with banana pieces. I hope you find these ideas helpful! -
Hey everyone, I wanted to share my thoughts and experiences with freeze-dried foods, especially when it comes to storage and shelf life. I’ve recently gotten into prepping and making sure I have a reliable food supply for emergencies, and freeze-dried foods have been a big part of that. The biggest advantage for me is the shelf life. Many freeze-dried products can last up to 25 years if stored correctly. This is a huge peace of mind knowing I have food that won't spoil anytime soon. My storage space is pretty limited, and freeze-dried food doesn't take up much space, which I'm also very happy with. For me, freeze-dried foods are really a very cool find, the only thing that bothered me was the taste and nutritional value. But I have found that freeze-dried foods retain much of their original flavor and nutrients. When you rehydrate them, they taste amazingly fresh. Some tips for storing freeze-dried foods: 1. Store in a cool, dark, and dry place. 2. Use airtight containers to keep moisture out. 3. Rotate your inventory from time to time to use up older items first. I'm interested in hearing about your experiences with freeze-dried foods. Do you have favorite brands or specific products that you love? Any tips for getting the most out of your freeze-dried food stash? -
I recently tried the recipe STRAWBERRY CRUNCH SMORES, now I want to share with you Ingredients: For the Strawberry Crunch: 1 cup freeze-dried strawberries 1 cup Golden Oreos, crushed 1/4 cup unsalted butter, melted For the S'mores: Graham crackers Milk chocolate bars Large marshmallows Directions: Prepare the Strawberry Crunch: In a food processor, pulse the freeze-dried strawberries until they form a fine powder. Add the crushed Golden Oreos and pulse a few times until combined. Transfer the mixture to a bowl and stir in the melted butter until the mixture is evenly coated and resembles wet sand. Set aside. Toast the Marshmallows: Toast the marshmallows over a campfire, grill, or stovetop until golden brown and gooey. You can use a skewer or roasting stick for this. Assemble the S'mores: Place a piece of milk chocolate on one half of a graham cracker. Top the chocolate with a toasted marshmallow. Sprinkle a generous amount of the strawberry crunch mixture over the marshmallow. Top with another graham cracker half to complete the s'more. Serve and Enjoy: Press down gently to allow the chocolate to melt slightly and the strawberry crunch to adhere. Enjoy your Strawberry Crunch S'mores while the marshmallow is still warm and gooey! -
Freeze-Dried Mango Powder 😀🥭. A one ingredient product. I’m super excited about this. I’ve been wanting to make powders of things for a while and finally did the first one. Turned out awesome. You can scoop some into your recipes or use as a sprinkled topping. Example, last night as a treat made a plain yogurt and topped it with freeze-dried pineapples, shredded coconut, white chocolate, and topped with freeze dried mango powder. Was very tasty. So tasty actually went back for seconds. 😛 Do you currently use any fruit or veggie powders?
