WHY FREEZE DRIED

Freeze drying process retains up to 95% nutrient value as compared to dehydrating which saves approx.  60% of nutrition.

Freeze drying allows for longer shelf life some products can last 15 to 25 years.

Once the water is removed from the food it becomes very light and is very space- efficient and allows you to stock pile more food in your pantry or carry several packs in your backpack. 

Freeze dried products retain taste and look like fresh products, they do not shrink and harden. Freeze drying preserves the aroma, shape and flavour.

Black Garlic

Black Garlic can be eaten everyday as a health booster without the fear of garlic breath.

Black Garlic is made with a Maillard reaction process of raw garlic using controlled stable and consistent temperature to ferment for a certain number of days.

Black Garlic is enjoyed best just as it is peeled straight from the bulb, or part of a cheese platter. It makes great sauces that lend rich flavour to soups and marinades. Slice or spread puree on bruschetta, crackers and cheese, pairs well with mushrooms, tomatoes, cheeses, pasta, pizza and meats.

From a nutritional point of view the main reason Black Garlic offers a lot of health benefits is that it is very rich in antioxidants. It may contains two times more antioxidants than raw garlic.

Black Garlic is also very rich in sulphurous compounds, one known as S-Allylcycteine (SAC) has been shown to offer a lot of health benefits including the inhabitation of cholesterol synthesis, in simpler terms it means that this particular compound has the ability to lower the risk of cardiovascular disease.

S-Allylcycteine is water soluble and readily digestible.
