Description

Freeze-dried Galaxies are a popular viral candy trend that transforms the classic, waxy chew into a light, airy, and intensely crunchy snack. By using sublimation to extract all moisture, the candy expands into miniature, puffed-up “space cubes” that melt in your mouth and will not stick to your teeth or dental work.

Texture and Taste Transformation

Texture: Changes completely from a dense, waxy chew into a brittle, crispy puff.
Flavor: The removal of water concentrates the sugar and citric acid, resulting in a significantly more intense burst of fruit flavor.
Dental-Friendly: Because it becomes brittle and water-soluble rather than sticky, it is a popular alternative for candy lovers with braces.

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.
