Freeze-dried Fruit Medley

Description

A freeze-dried fruit medley is a shelf-stable mix of various fruits that have had nearly all water removed through a vacuum-freezing process, offering a colorful, multi-flavor crunch in every handful. Unlike single-fruit snacks, a medley combines different levels of sweetness and tartness, making it a popular choice for families, hikers, and healthy snackers.

Our Medley is a mix of any fruits listed but can be special ordered to your liking.

Common Fruit Combinations:

The Classic Mix: Strawberries, bananas, and apples (the bananas provide creamy sweetness, while apples add a sharp crunch).

The Berry Blend: Blueberries, raspberries, and blackberries (intensely tart and packed with antioxidants).

The Tropical Mix: Mango, pineapple, and banana (highly sweet and aromatic)

Size

small – 8 oz, medium – 16 oz, large – 32 oz are container sizes being used and not the weight of the product.

Weight

When packaging freeze-dried fruits and candies, fluid ounces measure volume, not weight, which often confuses people because freeze-drying removes up to 90% of a food's water content. This means an identical deli container size will hold drastically different net weights depending on how much the food expands or contracts during the freeze-drying process.

Standard Deli Container Sizes & Average Net Weights
Deli containers are universally measured in fluid ounces (volumetric space). Because freeze-dried foods are highly porous and light, their actual scale weight is a fraction of the container’s volume.

• 8 oz Container (Half-Pint / Small)
o Estimated Net Weight: 1.5 to 2.5 ounces of candy; 0.5 to 1 ounce of fruit.

• 16 oz Container (Pint / Medium)
o Estimated Net Weight: 3.5 to 5 ounces of candy; 1.5 to 2.5 ounces of fruit.

• 32 oz Container (Quart / Large)
o Estimated Net Weight: 7 to 10 ounces of candy; 3 to 5 ounces of fruit.
