What is Air Dried?

Air dried fruit, often generically called dehydrated fruit, is made by subjecting the fruit to heat, resulting in water evaporation. The physical size of the fruit is reduced when it is air dried. Compared to freeze dried fruits, there is a much higher moisture content and the product is less shelf stable.

Storage of Organic Air Dried Fruit

Dried organic fruit should be stored in cool and dry conditions. Always avoid exposure to high heat, humidity, or sunlight. Shelf life can vary from a few days to a few months depending upon ambient conditions. It is possible to super extend shelf life in a freezer, but this is not our general recommendation due to possible issues with condensation or a drying out effect. Please remember, unlike freeze dried products, many air dried organic fruits have significant moisture content and should not be placed in stagnant storage for long periods of time.

Gluten Free

Our dehydrated fruit is gluten free.
