Handful comes in 5 different flavors. A new healthier fruit snack produced using the lyophilisation process. In collaboration with the United States Agency for International Development (USAID), the Van Drunen Farms Europe company is introducing Handful to the Serbian market during the summer – a new fruit snack, a cleverly designed nibble that can be consumed in different ways. Handful, a lyophilized fruit snack is 100% natural, without added sugar, artificial colors or gluten. It is made of top-quality fresh fruit. Thanks to fast freezing at very low temperatures and the subsequent dehydration of the fruit in a vacuum, the fruit structure and all nutritional values are preserved.
“The celebration of the United States of America’s Independence Day in Serbia was the right opportunity for announcing and presenting the Handful fruit snack, which will soon be available on the market in five different flavors” – said Nenad Arsenov, director of the Van Drunen Farms Europe company.
Van Drunen Farms Europe is part of the American identically named company from Momence, IL, which is a globally known leader in the production of freeze dried fruit and vegetables on the healthy food market. In 2002, the American knowledge, experience and technology of fruit processing using freeze drying were introduced to Serbia, namely to Banatsko Karađorđevo close to Zrenjanin, while dried fruit from Serbia is also exported throughout the world. “Following global trends, but also interrogating the needs of the healthy food market, we created Handful with the aim of offering consumers a unique multi-functional product.
