What are superfoods?

As mentioned, the Plantshakes are made of freeze-dried superfoods, making the shakes a bit of a nutritional powerhouse.

But what are even superfoods? And more specifically what are freeze-dried superfoods?We have already written an in-depth blog post about superfoods so we will mostly focus on freeze-dried superfoods in this post. But before diving too deep into freeze-dried superfoods, let’s quickly go over what superfoods are.

Superfoods refer to foods that offer maximum nutritional benefits. They are packed with antioxidants, minerals, and vitamins. Superfoods are, put simply, some of the most nutrient dense foods from Mother Earth. Some of these foods you already know: oats, blueberries, spinach, and brussels sprouts. Other superfoods include goji berries, maca powder, and acai. The majority of superfoods are plant-based.

Freeze-dried superfoods

Now, let’s move on to freeze-dried superfoods. First things first: what on earth does it even mean when something is freeze-dried? When freeze-drying something you remove moisture from raw, frozen foods through a vacuum system. You cut the frozen, raw product into the desired size and spread the pieces onto trays that are then stacked and stored in freezers. The trays are then moved into a refrigerated freeze-drying chamber, where ice is removed from the product and converts it to a vapor. Because the water is removed in a frozen state, the cell structure remains intact and therefore freeze-dried foods look much like the fresh food.

In a nutshell this means you are left with for instance blueberries that are fully intact, but without any water in them. This makes them crunchy, and they can be eaten as a snack, or they can be made into powder.

Benefits of freeze-dried superfoods

Okay, so what are the benefits of freeze-drying superfoods? Quite a few actually.

● By freeze-drying something you lock in high levels of nutrients. When you freeze-dry foods, it happens when fruit and vegetables are ripe and therefore are at the peak of their nutrient content.

● Freeze-dried foods have a longer shelf life, and they don’t need to be refrigerated. This means they are the perfect snack to carry in your bag or car!

● Because the water has been removed, freeze-dried products are very light. Again, this makes them a great snack to always have in your bag!

Each Plantshake contains carefully selected freeze-dried superfoods to boost your health, and we are sure you will love all of them.
