Our organic dried apple slices are made of unpeeled Quebec Spartan and Cortland apples. Processed from fresh overstock from local organic orchards in the Eastern Townships, the apples are picked at full maturity and dehydrated only during harvest season. No old apples stored for months but only good fresh fruit!
The organic apples are sliced with their skin (no pesticides) then slowly dehydrated to retain all their flavor and properties. It's the ultimate healthy snack!
Organic dried apple slices look like lightly-browned, thinly-sliced versions of fresh apples. They are naturally sweet, making them a great-tasting snack alternative to fresh apples. Think of them as fruit chips in snack-size portions. The dehydrating process retains the apples original nutritional value. They will have the same calorie, protein, fat, carbohydrate, fiber, and sugar content as the fresh fruit.
Some people have the misconception that dried fruits are not as healthy as fresh ones. This is a myth that truly needs to be busted. It's because dried fruits such as apples also offer a lot of health benefits for everyone. One of the benefits of dried apples is that it packs a high amount of both soluble and insoluble fiber.
