When it comes to keeping our feathered friends happy and healthy, nutrition is everything. Birds thrive on natural, nutrient-rich foods, but fresh fruits and vegetables can spoil quickly. That's where freeze drying comes in-a process that preserves the goodness of fresh food without the downside of spoilage.
What is freeze drying?
Freeze drying (also known as lyophilization) is a method that gently removes water from fresh foods by using a combination of cold temperatures and pressure. Instead of heating the food (which can destroy nutrients), the water is turned into vapor and lifted out-leaving behind food that's lightweight, crunchy and nutrient-dense.
Why is freeze drying beneficial to birds?
- Nutrient Retention-unlike dehydrating or cooking, freeze drying keeps antioxidants, vitamins, and minerals intact. This means your bird gets nearly all the same nutrition as fresh food.
- Long Shelf Life-No more worrying about food spoiling before your bird eats it. Freeze dried blends last much longer while staying fresh and safe.
- Convenience-No chopping, no mess. Just scoop and serve.
- Bird Approved Texture-Birds love the light, crunchy texture of freeze dried fruits and veggies, making them a fun and healthy snack.
