What Are Dehydrated Fruits?

Dehydrated fruits are made from fresh fruits. They have undergone a dehydration process which helps to remove their moisture content. After that process only the concentrated, flavorful product leaves behind. 

This process involves evaporating the water content from the fruits with the help of a gentle heating process. It helps to retain all the original flavors, colors, and most of the nutrients intake. The end result is what you expected. The flavorful, shelf-stable dehydrated fruits are ready for you to use. 

Before trying out Dehydrated Fruits here are some key factors you should know:

• More Savings: 

No more tossing out half a lime. Or waste half of your pineapple because it goes bad before you use up it all. 

Using dehydrated fruits means you don't have to worry about buying fresh produce frequently. That means more savings and less dealing with spoilage. They are long-lasting garnish that you can use exactly when needed. 

• Less Prep Time: 

Our Dehydrated Fruits come in pre-portioned slices. That means no more prepping or wasting time in slicing. They are ready to use and of course mess-free. There is no need to squeeze out every last drop of the juice. No more looking for recipes where you need to use up your surplus fruits.

Dehydrated fruits let you enjoy the fruit’s full flavor and vibrant color without any more prep. A win-win situation for both the bartenders and the environment. Now save your time on cleaning up the mess and invest more into your concoction. 

• Long Shelf Life:

Dehydrated fruits come with a long shelf life. They can be stored up for months. The extended shelf life lets you waste less. As there is more tossing out the spoiled fruits.

Now you stock up the dehydrated fruit garnishes for your cocktails and always have them ready whenever you need them. 

They are super easy to store. You need to keep them in a cool, dry place. 

• Flavor Concentration:

The natural sweetness and flavor concentration are what Dydrated fruits offer to your cocktails. Many misunderstand that the dehydration process takes out all the natural goodness. But that’s not true. The real talk is dehydration process actually intensifies the flavor and color. So now you have the fruity goodness without the mess of the liquids. 

• Color Retention:

Just like the flavor, the dehydration process also locks in the fruit's natural color. You don’t have to deal with the dull color fruits as the time goes by. The dehydrated fruits will stay in their vibrant states no matter how much time has passed.
