I noticed from the Nutrition Facts on the Brothers-All-Natural Fruit Crisps 100% freeze dried strawberries and 100% freeze dried bananas (each bag contains approximately 1 banana and 4 strawberries) that Total Fat was listed as 0g 0% and only 1 Calorie from Fat. In addition, for the fruit crisps Total Carbohydrates was listed as 11g 4%. The fat content maybe similar for the raw fruit, but the carbohydrate content listed in the USDA National Nutrient Database for Standard Reference for one banana small (6" to 6-7/8") is 23.1g 7.7% so where did the carbohydrates go. Can they evaporate?

How does the density of food effect how many calories are in it?

It doesn't always. But more dense foods tend to be higher in calories. This is usually because there is more food. For example, less-dense foods tend to be airy or very watery (think apples, for instance). Something like corn bread is thicker and mroe dense. With less air or water (both no calories) to take up space, you get more food per cubic unit that you do for less dense foods. More food = more calories.


Is baby food non perishable?

If kept sealed in the original packaging, yes, freeze dried food is considered non-perishable. And for good reason: freeze dried food typically lasts longer than dried food, canned food and many dry goods. In fact, freeze dried meals and individual ingredients, from fruit and vegetables to chicken meat and ground beef, may last as long as 25 years when kept in original, unopened containers in a cool, dry location. Because they are non-perishable, freeze dried foods are an excellent option for long-term food storage, emergency preparedness, survival, and outdoors/ backpacking/ mountaineering purposes. Lightweight and devoid of the majority of their original water content, these meals take up much less room than their canned and frozen counterparts.
