The advantages of dried tomatoes/courgette
There are 30 g of dried tomatoes and 30 g of dried courgette in a bag of Crunchy Veggies.
That amounts to 5 fresh tomatoes and 2 fresh courgettes.
As opposed to vegetable crisps, for example, our dried tomatoes and dried courgettes are not placed in fat, deep-fried or processed in any other way. That is how our Crunchy Veggies end up to be lower calorie than regular (vegetable) crisps or antipasti.
Dried courgette
Courgette is rich in fibres, potassium, calcium and vitamins like Vitamin A and E and contribute to a balanced and healthy diet. Courgette consists of on average up to 93% water, which is why they are not exactly known for an intense flavour. Dried courgette will be pretty bland then too, right? Wrong! The vacuum drying process draws most of the water from the courgette. That means that they basically shrivel up. The nutrients and also the flavour are concentrated in a much smaller mass. That is why the courgettes in our Crunchy Veggies may very well be the best you will ever eat!Dried tomatoes
Tomatoes are naturally very nutritious. Their high lycopene content supports the natural immune response in the body and can help eliminate food cravings. In addition to that, they also contribute largely to providing you with adequate amounts of potassium. Athletes in particular need a lot more potassium and benefit from additional amounts. Caution: Tomatoes alone are not enough to cover your potassium requirements.Production of dried tomatoes/courgette
Once the vegetables have been harvested, they are washed, cut and pre-dried. After that, our dried tomatoes and courgettes are vacuum dried using our patented PÄX technology.
During this gentle process, 80% of the original vitamin content remains intact.
