Snacking without regret. Out and about, at the office, on the way to the gym or at the cinema. Our dried banana/physalis are the perfect choice when you get peckish between meals.

Bananas also contain filling fibres and important B vitamins. Physalis furthermore contains iron and keratin which is good for your eyesight. Both fruits are great for a healthy lifestyle and are an important part of a balanced diet.
If you do start getting any cravings, dried bananas and physalis are just what you need.

The advantages of dried banana/physalis
A deciding factor of gently dried fruits is their high nutrient content. While bananas and physalis will lose some of their volume during the drying process, they loose hardly any of their vital nutrients.
The patented Päx drying process also means a longer shelf life for our banana/physalis Crunchy Fruits – and they won’t get soft or sticky. Dried fruit – as opposed to fresh fruit – should not become soft and mushy and the resealable packaging keeps them fresh and ready whenever you are.
Unique flavour
Sweet banana meets sour physalis. Our banana/physalis Crunchy Fruits have wonderfully harmonised flavours. A brand new taste sensation. Our dried fruits are not just fruity, sweet and sour, but also uniquely crunchy.
Our bananas are, as opposed to traditional dried bananas, not deep-fried – which means they won’t end up being rock hard, like many other products. What’s more, they contain no added sugar, honey or other sweeteners. We insist on purely organic quality, which is why we don’t treat our dried fruit with sulphur or any other chemicals.
Snacks for athletes and the figure conscious
Dried bananas contain magnesium and potassium, which makes them a great source of energy and helps to maintain or replenish your electrolyte levels. Dried banana and physalis will also keep you fit during longer workouts.
Dried physalis is a great snack choice when body sculpting, as it contains hardly any sugar and fewer calories. Physalis contains essential nutrients, vitamins and high-quality fatty acids. That is how they help with a healthy lifestyle.
Production of dried banana/physalis
Once our fruits are washed, cut and pre-dried, they are put through the final drying process. The fruit is vacuum-dried with heat and then gently dried to finish off. The advantage of this method is the combination of applying a vacuum, temperatures below 70 degrees and meticulous preparation.
This method ensures that the natural flavours and 80% of the original vitamin content are retained. Our dried fruits are free from any additives and are 100% natural organic quality.
