Our Freeze dried fig advantages
- Harvesting:
The process of making freeze-dried figs begins with the harvesting of the figs. Figs usually ripen in the summer when the fruit is at its sweetest and most flavourful. Farmers will select ripe but not overripe fruits for harvesting to ensure the quality of the product. - Washing:
After harvesting, figs are sent to the processing plant for washing. The purpose of washing is to remove dirt, impurities and pesticide residues from the fruit surface to ensure a hygienic and safe product. - Freezing:
After washing, figs are sent to the freezer for freezing. Freezing helps to maintain the freshness and nutrients of the fruit, prolonging its shelf life and better preserving the shape and flavour of the fruit during the subsequent freeze-drying process. - Freeze-drying:
After freezing, figs are transferred to freeze-drying equipment for freeze-drying. Freeze-drying is a processing method that removes water from the product, which can directly transform the product from a solid state to a gaseous state without heating, thus maintaining the original nutrients and taste of the food. During the freeze-drying process, figs gradually lose moisture but retain most of their nutrients and flavour. - Packaging:
After freeze-dried figs are freeze-dried, they will be sent to the packaging line for packaging. Sealed packaging is usually used to prevent the product from moisture and oxidation and to extend its shelf life. - Storage and transport:
After packaging, the freeze-dried figs are sent to storage warehouses and are ready to be shipped for distribution. During storage and transport, care needs to be taken to control temperature and humidity and avoid exposure to direct sunlight to ensure the quality and freshness of the product.
Freeze-dried fig production begins with carefully harvesting ripe but not overripe fruits during the peak summer season to ensure optimal sweetness and flavor. At the processing plant, the figs undergo meticulous washing to eliminate dirt, impurities, and any traces of pesticides, guaranteeing a safe and hygienic product.
Following washing, the figs are promptly frozen to maintain their natural freshness, nutrients, and overall quality. This freezing process helps preserve the figs’ shape and flavor, setting the stage for the crucial next step: freeze-drying.
In the freeze-drying phase, the frozen figs are transferred to specialized equipment where they undergo dehydration. This method removes moisture from the figs without subjecting them to high temperatures, thereby retaining their original nutrients and robust flavor profile. Once the freeze-drying process is complete, the figs are carefully packaged in sealed containers to shield them from moisture and oxidation, ensuring an extended shelf life without compromising their quality.
Stored in controlled environments to regulate temperature and humidity, the freeze-dried figs are prepared for distribution, with careful handling to prevent exposure to direct sunlight during transport. This comprehensive process ensures that the freeze-dried figs maintain their exceptional taste, nutritional benefits, and freshness from harvest to consumption.
