How to Freeze-Dry the Candy

Freeze dried candy undergoes a unique and fascinating process. First, the candy is frozen to an extremely low temperature. Then, it's placed in a vacuum chamber where the pressure is reduced, and heat is applied. This causes the water content within the candy to sublimate, turning into a gas. The water vapor is then removed from the chamber, leaving behind perfectly freeze dried candy – crispy, lightweight, delicious and packed with flavour.

The Freeze Drying Process Machine

The machine commonly used to make freeze dried candy is called a freeze dryer, or lyophilizer. This specialised equipment is designed to lower the pressure and temperature within a chamber, allowing for the sublimation of water from the candy while preserving its shape and flavour. Freeze dryers are essential in creating the unique texture and characteristics of freeze dried candy.

The Invention of the Freeze Dried Candy

Freeze dried candy is a modern marvel, harnessing technology originally developed for NASA's Apollo missions in the 1960s. The freeze drying process, which inspired the creation of freeze dried candy, was invented during that era to create lightweight ice and to lengthen the shelf-life of foods for astronauts in space. Since then, it has been adapted and perfected to bring us the delightful freeze dried lollies we know and love today.
