Freeze-dried fruit: your questions answered

Fruit that has been frozen solid at −40 °C and then dried under vacuum, so the ice leaves as vapour without ever melting. The fruit is never heated, which is why its shape, colour, flavour and most of its nutrients stay. Only the water — around four-fifths of the weight — is gone, and what is left is light and crisp.

No. Dehydrated fruit is dried with warm air, which cooks it, darkens it and makes it chewy, and it is often sugared or oiled. Freeze-dried fruit is crisp, keeps its colour, and has one ingredient.

Nothing. Each pouch lists one ingredient — five for the mix. No sugar, no oil, no preservatives, no sulphur, no colour.

It is whole fruit with the water removed, so per gram it has more fibre, more natural sugar and more vitamins than fresh. Treat a 50g pouch as roughly half a kilo of fresh fruit and eat it as fruit, not as sweets.

Only the fruit's own. The sugars on each label are natural fruit sugars, concentrated because the water has been removed. Nothing is added.

It is concentrated fruit, so count the carbohydrate as you would fresh fruit — a 25g serving is about one piece of fruit. The nutrition panel on each product page gives the sugars per 100g. Check with your doctor for your own limits.

Banana, strawberry and peach dissolve fastest and are the ones parents usually start with, once a child is handling finger foods. Break large pieces, supervise, and introduce one fruit at a time as with any new food. Ask your paediatrician if you are unsure.

The only ingredient is fruit, processed in our own facility in Lahore with nothing added — no animal-derived ingredients or processing aids.

12 months unopened at room temperature. The date is printed on the pouch.

Press the air out, reseal the zip and keep it in a cupboard. Moisture, not heat, is what makes it soft — so not the fridge, where condensation forms every time the pouch is opened.

Soft means it has taken in moisture, not that it has spoiled. Eat it as it is, or spread the pieces on a tray in a low oven for a few minutes to crisp them again. If a pouch arrived soft, that is a seal fault and we replace it — see the returns page.
