Raspberries Freeze Dried

Freeze-dried raspberries are made by removing water from fresh raspberries using a low-temperature freeze-drying process, which keeps their color, flavor, aroma, and most nutrients intact. Compared to air-dried fruit, freeze-dried ones stay light, crunchy, and nutrient-rich, making them a favorite for healthy snacks and baking.
