Freeze Dried Lychee

We decided to freeze-dry our Lychee candy as part of our ongoing (and deliciously scientific) candy experiments. Lychee has a naturally lower acid content, which makes it a perfect candidate for freeze-drying. Why? Because when you freeze-dry candy, it dissolves faster on your tongue—amplifying the flavor and sometimes cranking up the sourness to eleven.

But not everyone wants a face-puckering punch with every bite. So we thought, why not offer the same light, crunchy texture we love, but with a gentler, fruit-forward flavor? The result is a delightfully airy candy that melts in your mouth and delivers all the fun of freeze-dried sweets—without making your lips curl.

It’s science. It’s candy. It’s what we do at Lofty Pursuits.
