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.

 

How Dry are they?

  • Dried fruits are dehydrated to various degrees to match end use. These are best for snacking, homemade energy bars, meat stuffing, baked goodies.
  • They have 10-15% humidity making them chewy without being gooey. They are however not dry like chips.
  • Most clients use them as a snack for outdoor activities or in lunchboxes.

General Storage Tips:

• Nothing beats vacuum sealing for freshness.
• Store below 15°C and < 65% humidity.
• Store in the dark as light degrades flavors.
• Mason jars make great storage containers.
• Can be frozen to prolong shelf life.
