What is Vacuum-Frying and why is it better than conventional frying?
Vacuum-Frying Process:
At Snack Garden, we use vacuum-frying as an alternative to conventional frying. It offers significant benefits such as the improvement of fried product safety and quality and reduced oil oxidation because of the low-temperature processing.
The low frying temperatures and minimal exposure to oxygen are responsible for most of the benefits of vacuum-fried products, which include nutrient preservation, oil quality protection, and reduction in toxic compound generation.
As a result of vacuum-frying our Vacuum-Fried Veggie Chips are crispy, flavourful, have less oil and contain more nutrients compared to traditional fried chips.

Freeze-Dried Fruit - Why is it Healthier?
What is Freeze-Drying? Freeze-drying is a unique drying process because the fruit undergoes sublimation, in which frozen water is evaporated directly from ice to water vapor, removing 99% of moisture from the fruit, without ever having to enter a liquid phase. All the moisture is taken out of the fresh fruit, leaving it in its purest form. What’s left is 100% fruit that is crispy and naturally sweet for you to enjoy! Why is it better than conventional drying methods? Research has shown that freeze dried fruits hold up to 90% of their original nutritional content. Conventional drying methods leave...
