Freeze-drying requires a specialty machine to dehydrate foods through rapidly freezing down to -40 degrees, then lowering the pressure with a vacuum, removing the ice via sublimation. Because of the low temperatures, the herb retains more of its original qualities: its color, shape, nutrients, and aromatics are closer to fresh.
