freeze dried

Freeze drying is a form of processing used in commercial raw diets that remove all moisture from the food, making it shelf stable, and convenient.

What it means?

Pet owners who don't have the freezer space or time to make their own raw, often turn to freeze dried foods because of their shelf life and convenience.

What it means

How it applies?

During the freeze drying process, first the food/product is frozen, then it is slowly heated, and the vapor removed, so no moisture is left.

Additional info?

Although freeze drying makes raw feeding very convenient, the price usually goes way up, and it does use heat during the process. This will inevitably change the structure of the protein and kill bacteria, as well as probiotics.
