whats the difference between dried raspberries and freeze dried raspberries

Freeze dried raspberries are JUST raspberries- nothing added. Usually dried fruit has sugar/salt or other things added to them. Freeze dried are more of a crunchy texture, whereas dried fruit is usually still soft.

Freeze-drying works by freezing the material and then reducing the surrounding air pressure to allow the frozen water in the material to sublimate directly from the solid phase to the gas phase. The end result is a super crunchy dried fruit or whatever that is still in it's original shape but completely devoid of moisture. It will re-hydrate really quickly. I use my freeze dried raspberries in my own tea mixes.

Dried raspberries are usually air dried until most of the moisture is removed but they are still pliable...similar to dried apricots. Often times berries are glaced prior to drying such as dried cranberries.Freeze dried raspberries have no moisture in them and are dry and brittle. ...just like the strawberries found in Kelloggs Special K cereal with red berries.

I have never frozen it, don't think I would, could become runny. The taste is wonderful. I have also added fresh raspberries to it, it's great.

T. Hanson, according to my research on-line, it depends on how and where you store the dried fruit. In pantry, cellar, etc. should last 6-12 months; refrigerator should last 1 to 2 years; freezer - indefinite. When I get these, I put 1 to 2 cups in my Food Saver machine (vacuum sealer) and seal them up, keeping them flat, then I stack them in a paper lunch bag - lying down on the counter - then, I stand the bags in my freezer. When I want them, I take out one "sealed" bag and let it come to room temperature, open it up and enjoy the best dried cherries and blueberries I have ever had. I have had some in the freezer for over a year now and used them during the holidays. You would have thought I had just received them. Traverse Bay is an exceptional product!! I hope this helps - if you have a more specific question, please post it!

It's only supposed to put through a fine product based on what you put through the disc. For example if you put cooked apples through it, it catches the skin and seeds and heavy pulp in the top and pushes through an applesauce type result. I've never put raspberries through although they are very delicate and maybe a strainer would have worked better? It probably separated the seeds and skin but because they are so small ad filled with liquid, it's not the best fruit choice for a mill? Hope this helps.

The berries are dried. There is no expiration date on the package. The origin is China. It is Kosher Certified by Kosher Certification Services. In one corner it has a logo for Quality Assurance International and Certified Organic underneath and in the other corner it has the USDA Certified Organic logo.I'm glad you asked because the ziplock on my bag was broken and I didn't realize it. Thank you

I made blended raspberries and vanilla yogurt together and was pleasantly surprised how tasty they were. When you thaw them out just run them under warm water for 2 to 3 seconds and they come out nicely. I have not froze yogurt by itself but I am sure it would be fine. The portions are nice also!

a simple answer is yes much cheaper. Take a 1/2 cup dried elderberries to 3 cups water and simmer for 30 minutes. Let cool completely and then either use a nut bag to squeeze all the juices out or smash with a spoon and strain into a jar. The take 1 cup of LOCAL honey and mix together. once mixed it can stay refrigerated for months.

Hard to tell how fresh they are since dried apricots are never the same as fresh apricots. However, I like them more than most dried apricots because of the soft center that adds more flavor than California dried apricots. They taste fresh...not stale...if that helps.

Honestly, I'm not sure. My friend loves the raspberry in her tea. The others I put in iced coffee. Not much help...sorry.

This instant pectin is not cooked. You make your jam, let it set to gel, then store it in the freezer or keep it in the refrigerator for 3 weeks. I have not tried instant pectin it in a cooked jam. I have used it for fig, blueberry, strawberry, & raspberry. The freezer jam taste just like fresh off the vine. It is the only kind I use now. I don't bother with the cooked versions. I have not made ginger marmalade but why not give it a try.

These are freeze dried meaning no refrigeration needed and no spoilage. 1 bag usually lasts two weeks.

My guess is that these are as nutritious as fresh ones since they are freeze dried. No added sugar.

According to the label the green juices are "grown organically, harvested at their nutritional peak, immediately juiced and dried at low temperatures.... they are freeze dried using a gentle process that maintains nutrient potency". I hope that helps!! :)

No, they don't smell like raspberries. They are in capsule form with no scent.

Not at all. Their recipe book includes recipes to make sorbet, which uses no bananas. I personally love strawberries and raspberries, and you can use them frozen to make sorbet, frozen pies, etc.
