Our Story: The Birth of Lyoca

Founded in October 2020 by Anne Moorhouse, Lyoca emerged with an ambitious mission: to reduce food waste through freeze-drying technology. Anne began by selling surplus fruits and vegetables sourced from grocery stores and distributors. This initial initiative quickly demonstrated that freeze-drying could meet a far greater need.

 Why Choose Freeze-Drying?

Freeze-drying is a dehydration process that preserves the flavor, color, and 97% of the nutrients in foods, without the need for preservatives. This process removes 98 to 99% of water by freezing the foods, then placing them in a vacuum for sublimation drying. Unlike other dehydration methods, freeze-drying keeps the cellular structure intact, allowing for quick rehydration and a natural texture.

At Lyoca, we use this technology to create nutritious, delicious meals that are easy to prepare—perfect for an active, on-the-go lifestyle.
