These freeze-dried mandarins are not frozen fruit as the name suggests, but a designation of the special drying method where only the water is removed from the fruit. As a result, there are 0% additives and up to 97% of all nutrients are preserved. Ideal for adding to cocktails, smoothies, yogurt, baked goods, or pastries. Because there is no moisture left in the freeze-dried fruit, it does not affect the proportions and structure of a dish.
