TIPS

​

​

1. Use Warm or Hot Water

Most freeze-dried foods rehydrate best with warm or hot water. It helps the food absorb moisture faster and more evenly.

​

2. Add Water Slowly

Start with a small amount of water and add more as needed. Some foods absorb more than others, and it’s easier to add than to remove.

​

3. Let It Sit

After adding water, let the food sit for 5–10 minutes (longer for larger items like meats or meals). Give it a stir halfway through to help the moisture distribute evenly.

​

4. Use the Right Ratio

A general rule is:

• 1 part food to 1–2 parts water
  But it can vary. For fruits and veggies, less water is usually needed. For meals or meats, more may be required.

• ​

5. No Water? No Problem!

Many freeze-dried foods (like fruits, snacks, and candy) taste great dry and crunchy right out of the bag. Rehydration is optional for those!

​

6. Experiment to Your Taste

Some people like their food a little firmer, others prefer it softer. Try different amounts of water and soak times until it’s just right for you.

​

Bonus Tip:

For soups and stews, rehydrate right in your cooking pot by adding your freeze-dried ingredients directly to boiling water or broth.
