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.
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.
| Freeze-Dried Benefits | Dehydrated Drawbacks | |
|---|---|---|
| Texture | Retains original texture and crispiness | Texture is often chewy and rubbery |
| Flavor | Maintains original flavor and aroma | Flavor can be altered or reduced |
| Nutritional Value | Preserves nutrients and antioxidants | Nutritional content can be reduced |
| Shelf Life | Longer shelf life than dehydrated fruits | Shorter shelf life than freeze-dried fruits |
| Rehydration | Rehydrates quickly and retains texture | Can take longer to rehydrate and texture may be compromised |
| Convenience | Lightweight, easy to transport and store | Bulkier, heavier, and requires more storage space |
| Price | More expensive | Less expensive than freeze-dried fruits |
| Value | High-quality preservation with superior taste, texture, and nutrition | More affordable option but with some drawbacks |
If unopened, and stored properly, Origo Food can keep for several years! (gasp)
Origo products retain the original flavours. So, the fruit will taste almost the same. The texture is the one that changes during the freeze drying process. Fruits will become crisp, almost like chips.
No! You can keep it in room temperature.
Keep it away from direct sunlight. Once opened, make sure the packaging is properly sealed shut to prevent it from going stale.
Origo is quite versatile; it can be used baking, smoothies, drinks, toppers for salads, yogurt and granola and of course just as a snack!
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.
