Tropical Traditions offers a new line of organic and Fair Trade certified freeze-dried fruits. The ripest and tastiest fruits are carefully selected and freeze dried to eliminate the water within the fruit. All other natural properties of the fruit remain intact. Our supplier works to develop sustainable products and to help farming communities, and has been collaborating closely with local fruit co-ops in order to develop this line as Fair Trade certified.There is no sugar added, no coloring and no preservatives. All you get is the taste of fresh fruits. Fresh fruits are flash frozen and then placed in a vacuum chamber. About 98% of the fruit's moisture is drawn off by evaporating the ice, at temperatures as low as -50f. The freeze-dried fruit is sealed in moisture-proof and oxygen-proof packaging to ensure freshness until opened. When water is replaced, the fruit regains its original fresh flavor, aroma, texture and appearance. Certified Organic Raw - no heat process used Fair Trade Certified Gluten Free Wheat free, dairy free, peanut free, and tree nut free Long shelf life - great emergency preparedness food for storage, or for camping
