Main features of dried products
Fruve Naturals’ products offer convenience for professional use; IQF Oven Semi Dried products, Oven Dried and Sun-Dried products offer 5 distinct advantages:
Unparalleled hygiene: For their Semi Dried and Oven Dried products, the company drys inside ultra-hygienic industrial ovens, purpose built for our High Care facility. As for their Sun-Dried Tomatoes, these are dried on trays above concrete pavement. Again, this is an ultra-hygienic drying process, and the firm is the only Turkish company to sun dry in this fashion.
No moisture migration: Semi Dried, Oven Dried and Sun-Dried ingredients have the correct moisture levels to ensure zero moisture migration into dough, batter or bread when used in baking applications. Furthermore, bake time is cut drastically as their ingredients have radically less moisture compared to fresh ingredients and frozen from fresh ingredients.
Concentration of natural sugars: During drying moisture is removed from the fruit / vegetable but the natural sugars remain unchanged. Which means that wonderful fruit/ vegetable taste is more pronounced, without any added sugar. In fact, many first-time users are surprised by how tasty our products despite no added sugar.
Tastes like fresh: Unlike frozen from fresh, Fruve Naturals’ dried ingredients taste pretty darn close to how fresh produce tastes. Whereas the juices of defrosted produce seep into whatever container they are in, Sun-Dried, Oven Dried and defrosted Semi Dried ingredients do not have any running juices. This retention of juices ensures fresh-like texture and taste.
100% Natural: Semi Dried and Oven Dried ingredients are 100% natural, single ingredient and vegan; containing no e-numbers, no preservatives, no chemicals, no added sugar and no sweeteners. Fruve Naturals’ Sun-Dried product is an exception, other than tomato there is only one other ingredient: salt, which is in fact an age-old natural preservative.
Demanded healthy products
The company is well positioned for this increased demand during pandemic period. Their Oven Dried chips such as Orange, Mandarin, Apple, Persimmon, Watermelon, Zucchini, as well as their Fruit Tea Sets were successful.
Countries with highly developed HORECA sectors and convenience foods consumption show strong interest in Fruve Naturals’products. The company exports mainly to EU countries, UK, USA, Canada, South Korea, Singapore and Australia.
