The cannabis industry is experiencing significant growth, bringing both changes and opportunities. At Parker Freeze Dry, we recognize the critical role of freeze-drying and are committed to highlighting its advantages to those new to the industry and businesses looking to advance their operations.

The benefits of freeze-drying cannabis compared to traditional drying methods are considerable, offering immense value to larger-scale cannabis enterprises:

Hang Dried vs Freeze Dried:

STORAGE: Long-term storage of cannabis is difficult without precise temperature control; freeze-drying solves this issue by creating a shelf-stable product that lasts for years.

POTENCY: Research indicates that THC content is better preserved in freeze-dried cannabis than in hang-dried, resulting in a more potent product.

PROTECTION: Traditional drying methods pose challenges in maintaining cannabinoid value due to humidity and drying time, which can degrade quality. Freeze-drying protects the product through subzero temperatures and vacuum sealing.

AESTHETICS: Freeze-drying retains the visual appeal, preserving the colors and appearance as close as possible to the day of harvest.

TIME: Conventional drying can take upwards of a week or more, depending on humidity. In contrast, freeze-drying prepares the product within 36 hours. 

Stop by out booth to chat about how adding freeze drying to your hemp or cannabis processing can eliminate lengthy dry cycles and create a better longer lasting product.
