In recent years, freeze-dried candy and fruits have taken the snack world by storm. With their crunchy, airy textures and intense flavours, they’ve become a favourite for snackers of all ages. But what exactly makes freeze-dried treats so special?
Freeze drying removes moisture from food, preserving its natural flavours while enhancing texture and making it shelf-stable. This method doesn’t rely on added preservatives, which means you're getting a snack that’s as healthy as it is delicious. Freeze-dried fruits are often packed with more nutrients than their fresh counterparts, while freeze-dried candies transform into crispy, melt-in-your-mouth treats that are perfect for those with a sweet tooth, but looking for a healthier alternative!
Julie Klassen, the owner of Freeze Fresh Delights, is bringing this trendy snack phenomenon to Kingsville, Ontario. As a busy mama to three little ones (aged 4, 2, and 10 months), Julie knows how important it is to find healthy, fun snacks that both kids and adults can enjoy. In 2022, she purchased her first freeze dryer with the goal of creating healthier snack options for her children. But when she experimented with freeze-drying candy, she was amazed at the transformation in texture and flavour – and that’s when the idea for Freeze Fresh Delights was born.
Julie quickly realized there was a local demand for her unique freeze-dried snacks. With the support of her husband and kids, she began offering her products at local markets and shops. Her small business is growing, and her mission is simple: to bring delicious, innovative, and healthy snacks to the community – one freeze-dried delight at a time.
Whether you're snacking on freeze-dried strawberries or a sweet, crunchy piece of freeze-dried candy, these treats offer an exciting alternative to traditional snacks. Julie's passion for healthy eating, her creativity, and her commitment to her family have made Freeze Fresh Delights a standout in Kingsville, and she’s just getting started!
