Description

Freeze-dried marshmallows are regular marshmallows transformed into light, airy, and intensely crunchy treats. Unlike standard soft marshmallows, the freeze-drying process removes nearly all moisture, causing them to puff up slightly and take on a crisp texture identical to the famous marshmallow pieces found in Lucky Charms cereal.

Key Characteristics

Texture: Chewy and gummy states completely change into an ultra-crunchy, melt-in-your-mouth honeycomb structure.
Flavor: Because the water is completely removed, the natural sweetness and vanilla profiles become heavily concentrated and taste much stronger.
No Stickiness: They lose all exterior stickiness, making them easy to pack without melting or sticking together.

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.
