Which is better freeze-drying or dehydrating?

Dehydrated vs Freeze-Dried Food: The Verdict Longer Shelf Life - because it removes much more moisture, freeze-drying produces a lighter product. And the same residual moisture in dehydrated food that makes it a bit heavier also means it has a shorter shelf-life: often only a few years.

Is freeze dried and dehydrated the same thing?

What's the difference between Freeze-Dried Food and Dehydrated Food? Freeze-drying removes 98% of the water in foods while dehydration removes about 80% giving freeze-dried products a much longer shelf-life. Freeze-dried food is flash frozen and then exposed to a vacuum, which causes all the water in it to vaporize.
