Rating of the best sublimated products for 2022

Freeze-dried products are used not only for astronauts, they have firmly entered the diet of athletes and adherents of a healthy diet. To purchase really high-quality food, you need to understand the cooking process, determine which are the best manufacturers on the market and in which types there are no extra ingredients in the composition. Consider recommendations on how to choose such sublimates, what new products are on the market, in what form and at what price products from different manufacturers are sold.

Description

Sublimation is the process of converting water (ice) in the composition of products into a gaseous state by freezing and drying.

Initially, the products are quickly frozen, then sent to a vacuum chamber, where the ice evaporates very quickly, the temperature will decrease. After such drying, the sublimate is hermetically packed in polyethylene. This procedure can be carried out at home, but the purchase of equipment is expensive, so it is better to buy a finished product in a store.

Now almost everything can be sublimated. The quality of the finished sublimate depends on freezing. The faster and deeper the freezing occurs, the higher the quality of the finished product. Color, properties, taste, vitamins are preserved. It is important that only high-quality ingredients are frozen.

Such food can be stored outside the refrigerator for a long time, some products have a shelf life of up to 25 years. According to nutritionists, such sublimates can be used as a healthy diet.

Types of sublimates according to the form of packaging

1. packages;
2. Banks;
3. Buckets.

Packages. They are analogous to dry soldering. They are divided, in turn, into camping (zip-packages, most often in a package one serving) and long-term storage (more dense packaging and no zip-zipper, the shelf life can reach 25 years). Ideal for travelers. The nutritional value is preserved as it is in its natural form.

Banks. They are produced in ordinary cans, only larger than ordinary cans. Used as an emergency supply of food in an emergency. Convenient for hiking, you can take with you a large amount of food with meat, fruits, desserts and tea.

Buckets. Most often, the material of the bucket is plastic, oval or square, which contains packaged food. It turns out a kind of double packaging, which allows you to save products for more than 25 years. In such buckets, packages of different dishes one or more pieces. Very convenient for carrying (buckets are light) and for storage.

Criterias of choice

To avoid mistakes when choosing, you need to remember the following tips:

1. Read the ingredients of the product carefully. They should contain only natural products. What to look for: the package should contain clear cooking instructions in the product's gram.
2. Choose a trusted manufacturer. Not all companies treat their work with high quality and responsibility. The products of which company is better can be viewed from customer reviews. Although the popularity of models does not always lead to the right choice. It is better to rely on your own preferences and objectively evaluate reviews, choose the best ones for yourself.
3. Choice by price. You should not overpay for the brand of the company, you can pick up inexpensive (budget) but high-quality products. The functionality of all types is the same.
4. Where could I buy. You can buy in a specialized department or order online in an online store. Many manufacturers offer to choose an order with a home delivery function.

If you are choosing products for a hike or travel, you should limit yourself to buying several packages of different contents, but if you are collecting a supply of food, then it will be more profitable to purchase a bucket of products that will contain a variety of types of food for several servings.
