There are several steps to make freeze-dried chestnuts using a chestnut food freeze dryer:
1. Material selection: After picking fresh chestnuts, they are cleaned, shelled, and repeatedly cleaned.

3. Vacuum drying: The frozen chestnuts are put into the chestnut food freeze-dryer, and the chestnut food freeze-dryer will extract the air in the drying bin through the vacuum pump group, so that the frozen chestnuts are in a vacuum environment and heated at low temperatures, which provides favorable conditions for the sublimation of water from solid to gaseous, and skips the liquid stage when evaporating. In this way, the chestnut retains the maximum amount of nutrients, and the color, shape, and taste will not change.
4. Sealed packaging: After the freeze-dried chestnuts are sealed and packaged, they can be stored for a long time without freezing. It can be used as a snack directly, or it can be unpacked and rehydrated for cooking to make delicious food about chestnuts.
