What is Freeze Dry?

1. First Things First

It starts with perfectly ripe fruit—that’s it. No artificial colours or preservatives. Ever.

2. Bring on science

We lock in that just-right ripeness that our kids love with freeze drying technology. We use super low temperatures, up to -50°C (brrr!) to remove water, but let the fruits retain most of their nutrition, shape, and natural colour.

3. What you taste

Just store at room temperature and enjoy simply delicious fruit, frozen in time.

Freeze Dry 101

Why Freeze Dry?


Stone, Origo Founder & his 3 boys

As a parent of three children, my primary concern has always been their health and happiness. ( I believe you too) Providing them with healthy and enjoyable snacks has always been a challenge.

What we as parents consider healthy and nutritious may not necessarily be what our children like to eat. After countless hours of researching/ googling for snacks that meet our needs, we discovered the freeze-drying method.

We did extensive research and experimented with our children to test this technology’s benefits. To our surprise, our kids loved the freeze-dried snacks, particularly the fruits. They enjoyed the texture and flavor, which was comparable to eating fresh fruit.

Freeze-dried snacks have become a staple in our household, helping our kids build positive eating habits while providing a healthy and enjoyable snacking option.

Why Is Freeze Dried Fruits More Expensive?

Freeze-dried fruits are more expensive than dehydrated fruits because they offer a higher-quality preservation method that retains superior taste, texture, and nutritional value. The convenience and versatility of freeze-dried fruits make them a great option for outdoor activities, emergency food supplies, and a healthy snack alternative. On the other hand, dehydrated fruits are a more affordable option with some drawbacks such as altered flavor, reduced nutritional content, and a bulkier form. Ultimately, the decision comes down to personal preference, but for those looking for the best quality, freeze-dried fruits are the way to go.
