Whether the candy is sour or sweet, freeze-dried candy will have its flavor, color compounds, and aromas preserved, while its texture is completely transformed. Most freeze-dried candy is left with a unique out-of-this-world crunch due to the absence of moisture.
In general, freeze-dried candy contains the same amount of nutrients as regular candy, with less moisture. Freeze-dried candy is better for your teeth, especially for people who have braces, and can last up to 25 years in the right conditions! It also doesn’t go hard like regular candy, so if you find it 6 months after Halloween, you can eat it all and not worry about cracking a tooth.
Freeze-dried candy does not have more calories than regular candy. While freeze-drying creates incredible textures, it doesn’t add any new ingredients, just removes the moisture, meaning the calorie count stays the same as regular candy.
