Description

How They Are Made

Traditional chewy Frittles are placed onto trays inside a freeze-dryer—often using a specialized high-temperature “candy mode”. As the machine creates a powerful vacuum, the tiny amount of moisture trapped inside the candy’s chewy center turns to vapor. This causes the internal sugar matrix to rapidly expand, bursting through the hard outer shell with a distinctive white, puffy crack.

Flavor and Texture

Intensified Fruity Pop: Because removing water concentrates everything else, the original, sour, or wild berry fruit flavors taste significantly sharper and more intense.
Melt-In-Your-Mouth Crunch: They completely lose their sticky, jaw-tiring chewiness. Instead, they take on an airy, brittle crunch before instantly dissolving into a smooth, sugary paste on your tongue

Why They Are So Popular

No Sticky Teeth: Frittles won’t stick to your teeth, dental fillings, or braces, making them a favorite for people who usually have to avoid chewy candies.
Fun Textural Contrast: The combination of the shattered, brittle outer shell and the ultra-fluffy, cotton-candy-like interior creates a highly satisfying sensory experience.

Weight

When packaging freeze-dried fruits and candies, fluid ounces measure volume, not weight, which often confuses people because freeze-drying removes up to 90% of a food's water content. This means an identical deli container size will hold drastically different net weights depending on how much the food expands or contracts during the freeze-drying process.

Standard Deli Container Sizes & Average Net Weights
Deli containers are universally measured in fluid ounces (volumetric space). Because freeze-dried foods are highly porous and light, their actual scale weight is a fraction of the container’s volume.

• 8 oz Container (Half-Pint / Small)
o Estimated Net Weight: 1.5 to 2.5 ounces of candy; 0.5 to 1 ounce of fruit.

• 16 oz Container (Pint / Medium)
o Estimated Net Weight: 3.5 to 5 ounces of candy; 1.5 to 2.5 ounces of fruit.

• 32 oz Container (Quart / Large)
o Estimated Net Weight: 7 to 10 ounces of candy; 3 to 5 ounces of fruit.
