Fresh freeze-dried
PRESERVING THE NUTRITIONAL PROFILE OF THE FRESH PLANT
We believe that fresh freeze-drying is the most effective way of preserving botanicals, thus maintaining their delicate chemical composition, synergy, and balance. At NORDIQ Nutrition® we preferentially select fresh freeze-dried ingredients for their high nutritional density, resulting in formulations of the utmost purity and efficacy.
When you freeze-dry, it is only water that evaporates off, meaning all the plant goodness is left behind in the dried material. We believe that this is the gentlest yet most stable way of preserving the botanical composition. As this is a two stage drying process the results give us a nutritious ingredient that is extremely low in water content yet rich in phytonutrients. This is why we call it locked-in freshness.
The six stages of fresh freeze-drying
1. Fresh produce
Cultivated botanicals are carefully harvested.
2. Freeze-drying
Fresh plants are rapidly frozen at -200°C by the fresh freeze-drying apparatus. A process that is repeated twice.
3. Sublimation
Frozen water changes directly to a gas, a process known as sublimation, keeping all the botanical goodness within the plant.
4. Cryo grinding
Botanical material is finely ground using a gentle cryo (cold) grinding technique.
5. Blending
Freshly dried botanicals are blended with bioactive vitamins, minerals, and co-factors, to produce finished products.
6. Storage
Our products are carefully packaged to maintain nutrient integrity and to protect against light, moisture, and oxidation
Advanced phytonutrient delivery
A BRIEF HISTORY OF FRESH FREEZE-DRYING
Freeze-drying was initially developed in the 1890s when it was discovered that perishable organic materials could be processed and stored for extra long periods of time. During the Second World War, biological goods were freeze-dried to ensure freshness and stability in transit.
In the late 1960s, Nasa conducted extensive research into this technology and found freeze-drying to be an exciting and viable solution for astronaut nutrition. To this day, freeze-dried products are still considered an invaluable food source for space exploration.
