hey everyone david again with
0:05
freezedrivebusiness.com
0:06
i've got a special video for you to show
0:09
you how to freeze dry blueberries i've
0:11
got a special tool that i bought that i
0:13
think is totally worth the money
0:15
let's get right to it
0:16
hey before we get started on the
0:18
blueberries please subscribe to my
0:20
channel if you find these videos
0:21
interesting and helpful for your
0:22
freeze-dried business if you like
0:24
particular aspects of the video please
0:26
let me know in the comments i'd love to
0:28
hear from you i'd love to also find ways
0:30
better to do things so if you could let
0:32
me know in the comments that would be
0:34
great okay so i told you that i bought a
0:38
tool for poking blueberries one thing i
0:41
found throughout searching a lot of
0:43
different forms about freeze drying and
0:44
through trial and error is that when you
0:47
have a berry that has a skin to it you
0:49
want to make sure you poke it this
0:51
releases the juice and allows the freeze
0:55
process to do better for the blueberry i
0:58
found that it becomes more crunchy
1:00
becomes more airy and it doesn't have an
1:03
explosion look to it where the juices
1:05
come out and still takes a really long
1:09
that tool is called the rollerberry by
1:15
and patrick is the owner over there he
1:17
fabricates this tool himself it's great
1:20
it took about three weeks for it to get
1:24
think it's totally worth it
1:29
actual tool it has a bunch of
1:32
metal pokes that spin
1:35
so it spins like this this thing
1:37
probably weighs i don't know probably 12
1:40
really really durable
1:42
then it has a handle right here
1:44
and then on the underside this is where
1:47
it catches the berries and drops them
1:48
right back on the tray that you're
1:54
180 i think with just the roller and
1:58
then you get the case as well
2:00
i was a little skeptical of
2:02
purchasing this just because of the cost
2:08
very much impressed with how well it
2:10
i was individually poking berries with a
2:18
that's right a metal skewer individually
2:21
poking berries this has probably saved
2:25
at least half the amount of time that i
2:27
was doing that if not more and i think
2:29
it's a great investment so again this is
2:31
a frozen ripe rollerberry
2:33
and you can look it up on frozen right
2:35
done before we start poking the
2:37
blueberries i want to show you the tools
2:38
and equipment and the setup that i do
2:40
for blueberries the tool
2:43
definitely has some things that i wasn't
2:46
sure of and would have never known prior
2:49
to purchasing it which is
2:52
use the berry roller the berries can
2:55
easily just go all over the place
2:56
wherever you're cutting so it's best to
2:59
a tray or something that has a wall to
3:03
it so that the berries don't go
3:05
everywhere and what i mean by that is go
3:07
ahead and use a harvest right
3:12
this has some walls to it so we're going
3:15
i've got the silicone mats so that way
3:18
it's a little bit less pressure on the
3:21
the metal spokes that will poke the
3:28
baking sheets these baking sheets
3:31
obviously are a little bit bigger
3:38
what i do with these is i'm going to
3:45
in the freeze dryer let the freeze dryer
3:48
freeze the berries and go ahead and go
3:50
through the whole cycle
3:52
and in preparation for the next cycle
3:55
i'll use the bigger trays to freeze the
3:58
berries that are already poked and that
4:00
way the next cycle i don't have to go
4:02
through that freezing process all over
4:09
this freezer paper it's the reynolds
4:11
kitchens freezer paper allows the any
4:14
type of fruit to not stick
4:16
to the paper make sure that you use the
4:20
slick side instead of the paper side
4:23
right so i'm going to go ahead and wash
4:24
all the blueberries and we'll come back
4:27
to use the rollerberry okay so with the
4:32
what i found is that it is
4:37
a certain layer of blueberries don't
4:40
load it on the berries you want to do a
4:42
single file and you want to make sure
4:44
that this side where it catches the
4:46
blueberries is face down
4:48
and then you're really just going to
4:50
press down but you're going to keep it
4:53
this do not roll with the angle like
4:56
this you want to roll with it up and
4:58
that's going to allow it to roll better
5:08
all rolled and coat i'm gonna do one
5:13
and then we'll put it on a time lapse
5:18
it goes a little bit faster
5:21
again angled up a little bit high and
5:24
across the whole thing
5:30
okay so that was the rollerberry i love
5:34
i'm definitely recommending it for
5:35
anybody that's in the freeze-dried
5:37
business side of things for fruit it
5:39
pokes the berries it allows to get that
5:43
to the blueberry and pokes that skin
5:46
i'm going to do the rest of these i'm
5:47
going to put it on a time lapse and then
5:49
we'll put it in the freeze dryer for it
5:50
to go hope you enjoyed this video thanks
