Nowadays, food is not what it used to be in our childhood, neither concerning flavor, nor smell or ingredients. We often hear how, for example, watermelons or tomatoes do not taste like they did ten years ago. We can apply that sentence to almost all fruit and vegetables. So seriously, what has happened?

Modern times bring about fast food, permanently fresh fruit and vegetables, even during the winter season, instant ripening and a relatively long product storage life. Consequently, we cannot define the food we consume as reliable, healthy and safe.

So which things we can safely say are like that? Probably only the ones we have insight into or for which we are acquainted with the relevant processes from the beginning to the end.

Let us introduce you to the production process of Handful products and show you why we can claim them to be a healthy nibble.

Lyophilisation is the best and a qualitatively outstanding fruit or vegetable drying process. The fruit is first frozen at an exceedingly low temperature, upon which humidity is extracted via a vacuum system in a chamber. Depending on the product and recipe, the drying process can take up to 25 hours. In the course of the process, sublimation transforms ice into water vapor. In that way, dehydration is carried out, and more than 95% of the water evaporates from the fruit or vegetable, which then retains all its nutritional values, color, smell and taste. The size of the fruit is smaller, but the flavor and smell are preserved as in fresh fruit.

We use technology developed by NASA, which was already used by the old Aztecs, in order to ensure 100% naturalness and 100% honesty of Handful.
