FAQ

Everything you want to know—nothing to hide.


What are your snacks made of?

Our snacks are made with 100% real fruit—nothing else.
No added sugar, no preservatives, no artificial ingredients.

One ingredient. That’s it.


What does freeze-dried mean?

Freeze-drying removes water from fresh fruit while keeping the flavor, color, and nutrients intact.

The result?
A light, crispy texture with the same real fruit—just in a different form.


Is there any added sugar?

Nope. Zero added sugar.
All the sweetness comes naturally from the fruit itself.


Are your snacks healthy?

Yes—because they’re just fruit.

They’re naturally rich in vitamins, fiber, and antioxidants, without any of the extra ingredients you don’t want.


Are they good for kids?

Absolutely.
Our snacks are a parent-approved, kid-loved option with simple, clean ingredients you can feel good about.  Because freeze-dried fruit dissolves quickly in your mouth, they're also less of a choke hazard than dehydrated fruit.


Where do you source your fruit?

We source our fruit from regions where it grows best—picked at peak ripeness for the best flavor and quality.


How is this different from dried fruit?

The freeze drying process vaporizes water at -10 degrees Fahrenheit while leaving behind the very best the fruit has to offer. 

✅  Removes up to 98% of the water content
✅  Retains up to 97% of nutrients
✅  Higher nutrient density per ounce than fresh fruit
✅  Light, crunchy texture
✅  Retains the natural flavor & color of fresh fruit
✅  Shelf life measured in years

By comparison, dehydrated fruit often uses heat to remove water, resulting in several less-desirable aspects.

❌  Removes about 66% of the water content
❌  Retains only about 65% of nutrients
❌  Loses flavor, so sugar is commonly added to compensate
❌  Tougher, chewy texture
❌  Shelf life measured in days


What does “Zero Compromises” mean?

It means you no longer need to compromise between flavor and health. We don’t cut corners on ingredients, quality, or impact.

You get:
– Real fruit
– Real flavor
– Real purpose

Every time.

Check the back of your pouch for the best-by date.
