Vilgain Freeze‑Dried Banana, or simply put, bananas dried by freezing, can enhance any sweet dish or dessert both in terms of flavor and a load of vitamins, which are not destroyed thanks to the freeze‑drying process.
How does the freeze‑drying process actually work? Bananas or other fruit (even vegetables) are subjected to deep freezing and then slowly dried in a vacuum, which completely removes the water. Through this process, the fruit gains its characteristic lightness and retains its color, aroma, and taste. In addition, the fruit is packed with vitamins that are preserved just like in fresh fruit, because it is not affected by heat.
You can use freeze‑dried fruit anywhere you would use fresh fruit. You can decorate and flavor porridge, yogurt, muesli with milk, or smoothies with it. It is also very popular among pastry chefs, as it makes decorating desserts simple and effective. Bananas can be used whole or crumbled between your fingers – thanks to perfect drying, you can create a fine banana powder. Freeze‑dried bananas have another great feature – once you soak them in water, they will swell back up to their original size and texture and will be indistinguishable from classic fresh fruit.
