Why are freeze-dried products expensive? What are the ratios wet to dry?
Many factors contribute to the costs of freeze-drying products including energy, transportation and the most important: ratios. What this means is, it takes “x” number of pounds of “raw” ingredients to create “y” (finished product, which weighs less). As an example it takes 14 pounds of 1/4″ cut asparagus to create one (1) pound of freeze-dried product.
