What are Crunchies?
Crunchies are freeze-dried fruits and vegetables. There is nothing added to these products – no added sugar, sulphur, fat or preservatives.
How are Crunchies made?
Crunchies are created by placing frozen fruits or vegetables in a refrigerated vacuum chamber which removes up to 97% of the moisture. What’s left is a product that retains virtually all of its nutrients and enzymes (unlike heat-drying), while maintaining its shape, intensifying its flavor and making it crispy & crunchy.
Are they wheat & gluten free? Are they considered a raw food?
These products are wheat and gluten free. And while all of fruits are considered raw, all frozen vegetables are flash-blanched within a few hours after picking. This stops the deterioration of the enzymes and nutrients (and it preserves color) so they are not considered raw. Unless fruits and vegetables are eaten shortly after picking, freeze-dried fruits and vegetables are typically more nutritious than fresh produce.
How do most people use Crunchies?
Most people eat them as a snack–like popcorn (kids love them!).Crunchies are a great way to get your daily recommended allowance of fruits and veggies. The Veggies can also be added to salads, baked potatoes, soups, breads/muffins, omelettes, ground turkey and pastas. Fruit Crunchies can be added to your favorite pancakes/waffles, muffins, cookies, scones, cereals, compotes, yogurt and ice cream.
