Freeze-dried candy is a candy that has been processed through freeze-drying technology (freeze-drying technology). It is a dehydrated candy product obtained by freezing materials containing a certain amount of sugar (such as fruit pulp, juice, sugar solution, etc.) to turn the water in the materials into solid ice, and then directly converting the ice into water vapor through sublimation in a vacuum environment. This technology can retain the nutrients, flavor and original shape of the candy raw materials to a large extent. Freeze-dried candies have a loose and porous structure due to sublimation drying, which makes the candies crispy. When you bite the candies, you can feel the obvious lightness and crispness, which is a unique taste different from traditional candies.
