What is freeze dried candy?

Freeze drying is a technique for preserving the structure of foods by removing water from it

Freeze dried candy is exactly like the name implies - candy that's been freeze dried. The process involves freezing the candy and then removing all of the water and moisture from the candy, leaving only pure sugar crystals behind.

The resulting sweets look similar to the candy you started with, but they usually expand in size and are lighter in color. Their texture becomes a lot crunchier too, that's because there's no moisture inside to keep everything soft and chewy.

How do you freeze dry candy?

The scientific procedure for removing water from food this way is known as lyophilisation, but we'll stick with the easy term freeze drying. The first step is to buy a freeze dryer, these are big machines that first freeze the food inside and then it creates a vacuum chamber which removes all the moisture. The resulting dried food can be stored for long periods of time without refrigeration and without spoiling, making it ideal for astronauts or military rations.
