Is freeze-dried produce a reliable source of vitamins and minerals? Is it a healthy way to eat my fruits and vegetables?

Dehydrated produce can be an acceptable alternative to fresh—especially if you’re in a situation where perishability of fresh fruits and vegetables is an issue. Dehydration preserves many of the vitamins and antioxidants found in produce, with a few notable exceptions, such as water-soluble nutrients, which are lost in the process.
