Freeze-dried fruit and vegetables, including chocolate-coated varieties. Used for snacking and for topping cake and chocolate, since they keep their colour and crunch and release no water to spoil the work.
Country: Uzbekistan
Specialty: freeze-dried fruit and vegetables, including chocolate-coated
How is this different from ordinary dried fruit?
Heat-dried fruit loses colour and turns soft; freeze-dried fruit keeps its colour and stays crisp.
Do the chocolate-coated kinds need refrigeration?
Keep them cool and dry, away from heat, so the chocolate coating does not melt.
Is it suitable for decorating cake?
Yes, and it is best added just before serving so it keeps its crunch.
