Freeze Dried Peaches

Freeze-dried peaches are whole peaches or peach pieces that have had most of their water removed through a process called freeze-drying. This method involves freezing the peaches and then exposing them to a vacuum, which causes the ice to turn directly into vapor, preserving the fruit's shape, color, and nutrients.

Freeze-dried peaches are used to add natural peach flavor and texture to foods without adding moisture. They are commonly found in breakfast cereals, granola, snack mixes, baked goods, and as a topping for yogurt or ice cream.

Freeze-dried peaches are considered a whole food and are generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA. They retain the nutritional benefits of fresh peaches, including vitamins, minerals, and fiber. International bodies like JECFA have evaluated similar dried fruits, and no specific health concerns are associated with their typical consumption.
