The Harvest Right Home Pro is a small home freeze dryer that comes with a Mylar bag kit for storing what you preserve. It has four stainless steel trays and runs on a standard 110 volt outlet. Each batch handles 6 to 10 lbs. of fresh food, and it can process up to 1,800 lbs. a year.
Freeze drying preserves food without high heat. Nutrient loss is less than 3%, compared with 50 to 60% for canning and around 40% for dehydration. The food doesn't shrink, toughen or change in taste, and it keeps its original look, flavor and aroma.
Freeze dried food can stay fresh for 20 to 30 years, versus 2 to 3 years for canned and dehydrated food. It is also very lightweight, which suits hiking, camping and emergency preparedness.
