Why Choose Driedfresh

No Freeze-Drying

The plant’s cell membrane is not punctured by the frozen ice crystals. We lock in nutrients and have substantially reduced the hydroscopic problem (mush)

Low Temperatures

The technology dries in a vacuum at below 38c to protect nutrients and allow the customer to qualify their produce as “Raw” if desired

Oxygen Free

The technology dries in a vacuum without Oxygen but with nitrogen to prevent oxidation, colour loss, bacteria yeast and spore growth

99.9% Natural

Dried from fresh removing only water using the plant's natural reverse osmosis process. It's the O in OVDMA

Longlife Storage

With the cell membrane intact the dried produce is not as hydroscopic as FD and at <6% moisture and <.5aw stored correctly will be preserved for decades

OVDMA Technology

OVDMA is Osmotic Vacuum Drying in a Modified Atmosphere. 25 + years of development with ongoing R&D using machine learning algorithms to deliver the best drying tech in the world
