Freeze-Dried Plums: An Intensely Flavored, Natural, and Nutritious Crispy Snack
The plum, with its deep purple color, slightly sweet and sour balance, and high antioxidant value, is one of the most special fruits. Thanks to freeze-drying technology, the plum is transformed into a completely additive-free, light, and crispy snack while preserving its natural color, aroma, and nutritional value.
Freeze-dried plums, unlike traditional drying, retain their fiber, vitamins, and color. With their intense aroma, they are a modern form of fruit that can be enjoyed on their own or used as a natural flavor enhancer in many recipes.

-
No additives, sugar, or preservatives are added.
-
Its natural form and color remain the same.
Result: A crispy, light, intensely flavorful, all-natural plum snack.
