Lyophilized Raspberries

At Rabbits World, rabbits are queens and kings 😉 So when you want to offer your rabbit a refined and delicious dish, you immediately think of raspberries. The raspberry is mainly eaten in July and August but so that you can offer it all year long, I offer you lyophilized raspberries. The process of lyophilization keeps all the vitamins and minerals as well as the beautiful color of the fruit. Thanks to the gentle process of lyophilization, about 80% of the vitamins and minerals are preserved. These raspberries contain no additives and are 100% natural food. Raspberries are rich in vitamins B and C, which can have a positive effect on the animal health. They are also rich in minerals, such as potassium, calcium, magnesium, manganese and iron. In addition, raspberries contain fiber, which is very good for stimulating rabbits’ digestive system. Your rabbits will love the little acidic touch of lyophilized raspberries. You should also know that leaves are a food that rabbits are particularly fond of. Since this product is a treat, do not give more than 1 to 2 fruits per week.

Now do you know the difference between dehydration and lyophilization 😉

Dehydration and lyophilization are two techniques that both have the same goal: drying food.

• By dehydration, we obtain an almost total evaporation of the water they contain. The technique is very old and allows to protect food from the appearance of microorganisms that need water to grow. The process changes the nutritional qualities by causing a concentration of nutrients.
• Lyophilization involves the complete dehydration of foods. The evaporation of water is obtained at low temperature by freezing the food and then sublimating the ice directly into water vapor. The technique is complex and expensive.

Shelf life: the shelf life of lyophilized products is very important. When properly stored, foods can be consumed for up to 15-25 years. Even after that time, the products remain consumable, with flavors and nutritional values nearly as good as when they were lyophilized. In comparison, dehydrated food has a shelf life of only 4 years, frozen products 2 years.

Rabbits World Nutriscore: We tend to want to please them all the time. But it’s also up to us to know how to dose the treats 🙂  Since raspberries are a high-sugar fruit, you won’t want to give them more than 2 to 3 pieces per week.
