What is freeze drying?

Before we convince you why you should choose HALO freeze dried fruit snacks, here’s how we make them.

Fresh fruit from select farms across the country is picked and sent over to where the magic happens. We then move on to step one of the lyophilisation process using high-tech equipment in our processing units

In this process, fruit pieces are cut to the desired size and then frozen at extremely low temperatures until the water content inside has fully solidified. After this, with the principles of sublimation, the water content is instantly turned from solid to vapours. So what you are left with is crunchy, bite-sized fruit pieces that are ready to be packed.

They are then packed in attractive zip-lock packaging, post which they are sent to your doorstep for you to enjoy!

Here’s why you should buy freeze dried fruits from HALO:

Whether you pick freeze dried papaya, freeze dried bananas or some other fruit, you’re making the right choice because we’re HALO and we strive to give you only the best of snacks!

  1. Packed only with the goodness of fruit: The first doubt that forms in people’s minds is regarding its health factor. How is it healthy if it’s crunchy? But it is! These freeze dried mango slices and other fruits are not baked or fried, they are freeze dried using the best of techniques to achieve the crunch without losing out on the health aspect. So, this snack has 0 oil in it! It is only the goodness of fruit and taste. Moreover, freeze drying only takes away the water content and leaves behind the nutrition, so you can enjoy the goodness of carbohydrates, vitamins, minerals and more.

2. What you see is what you get, nothing hidden: Our brand of freeze dried fruit snacks do not have any added sugar, preservatives or chemicals in them. In fact, they are vegan and can be had by young and old alike, as well as by people with any dietary preferences. So, it is the ultimate combination of natural fruity tanginess and a surprising crunch!

3. Storage: Compared to their fresh counterparts, freeze dried papaya, freeze dried mango slices and all the other variants last way longer! This is because the water content that causes the rotting reaction in fresh fruit is completely absent here. So, you can buy it in bulk and store it all year round. The only thing you need to be careful about is storing it properly. Since freeze dried fruits are hygroscopic, they tend to react to moisture in the surrounding environment very quickly. So, push the air out before using the zip-lock and store it in an airtight container as much as possible.

4. Lightweight snack: This snack is so lightweight that it can be carried anywhere, in your handbag, backpack or just stored in any desk, drawer or shelf. This means you can eat it any time anywhere. Since it does not have oil, it also won’t leave behind any grimy messes, making it a silent companion for you during hungry times. Another thing to notice is that this snack is quick to boost your energy and fill your stomach because even though it is really lightweight, it actually has a lot of fresh fruit content in it! For example, one 30 gram packet of freeze dried mango slices actually has two full mangoes!

5. Enjoyed by everyone alike: Fussy kids, working adults, old people who want tea time snacks, this brand is here to give everyone something they can enjoy. Kids who are fussy about eating fruits or adults who are looking for ways to get more fruit into their diet can find themselves easily gravitating towards this snack! It’s crunchy to eat so kids will want more. You can put it in their morning cereal, serve it with afternoon yoghurt, eat it straight out of the packet as an evening snack and use it as toppings on any of your desserts! The list is endless and you can experiment with them to make them even more of a crowd-pleaser.
