Frequently Asked Questions
The less additives, the cleaner the food. foodspring Crunchy Fruits are 100% free from additives. Traditional veggie crisps are often deep-fried or baked in oil. That significantly increases their calorie and fat content. Furthermore, they are often treated with flavour enhancers and chemical additives. You’ll find none of that in our Crunchy Veggies. As a result, they get top marks in terms of nutritional value.
For one, because tomato and courgette are both healthy and low calorie and can also contribute to a balanced nutrition. And secondly: Because they taste great. Mediterranean holiday flair meets regional produce. What more could you want?
The patented PÄX production process makes the veggies – for lack of a better word – shrivel up using a vacuum drying process. As the vegetables are free of any additives, the full natural flavour is compressed into a smaller mass. That is how our Crunchy Veggies get their incredibly intense flavour.
Vacuum drying is an ultra gentle process that protects nutrients. Unlike traditional drying methods, this process retains up to 80% of the original nutrients contained in the fresh fruit. Our tomatoes and courgettes are washed right after harvesting, then sliced by hand, pre-dried and finally vacuum dried with applied heat.
Quality is important to us. We set the bar very high for our patented Crunchy Fruits. Hand-picked raw materials, gentle processing and no artificial additives like flavour enhancers or colourants – all of that makes Crunchy Fruits a very high quality product with an unusual and unrivalled taste.

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.
