Freeze drying your breastmilk turns it from frozen liquid to powder Booby Food, without having to be thawed. So, what are the benefits of freeze dried breastmilk?
No more crying over spilled breastmilk.
I’d be out running errands and my husband or mom would ‘panic thaw’ my breastmilk while watching Sage. I can’t count the amount of times I’d come home to see my breastmilk sitting in the bottle, untouched. If they only knew how many days it took to get that 6oz of liquid gold, now wasted.
With your freeze dried breastmilk, you can use as much or little as you want. No more crying over spilled (breast)milk!
Nutrients are saved.
With freeze drying, there is no thawing or heating of your breastmilk. It’s different than dehydration methods which use high temperatures to evaporate the liquid, destroying heat sensitive nutrients like vitamins, enzymes and antioxidants. Freeze-drying uses extremely low temperatures and vacuum pressure systems, removing moisture without compromising nutritional value.
Your freeze dried breastmilk is shelf stable.
Freeze-drying ‘locks’ in nutrients. Since the moisture is removed, your dry powdered breastmilk doesn’t need to be refrigerated. Yes! You read that right, no more worrying about freezing or refrigerating your breastmilk anymore.
Freeze drying your breastmilk can save you a lot of money.
For working mamas or surrogates who have to ship in breastmilk, this can save thousands of dollars in shipping fees.
Your freeze dried breastmilk can last for years.
Your freeze dried breastmilk is shelf-stable, travel friendly and nutrient dense. But, the best part is, your freeze dried breastmilk can last for years and years.
Freeze drying has a long history, dating back to the ancient Incas where they would freeze dry potatoes high in the mountains. Modern day NASA relies on freeze dried foods for astronauts during their space missions to keep them nourished.
The most detrimental thing to your freeze dried breastmilk is air, light, moisture and excessive heat. Booby Food packages are made of extra thick Mylar that protects against these threats. For added protection, there is a moisture absorber in every pouch.
