FAQ
What is 5th Season?
5th Season is the perfect fruit snack for hungry adults and healthy kids: 100% natural, packed with vitamins and fibre, nothing added, gluten-free and low in calories. The perfect way to enjoy your favorite fruit in a pack. Just fruit, nothing added!
How does the fresh fruit end up in a pack?
Great question! All our strawberries, mangoes, raspberries, apples and bananas are picked when the fruit is optimal in taste, color and shape. We then freeze the picked fruit in an accelerated process to preserve the sweet taste, vitamins & fibre. Once frozen, the fruit ends up in a room where we extract all the air (we call this a vacuum) and at the same time slowly add warm air up to a maximum of 100 degrees Fahrenheit. This ensures that the frozen ice is immediately converted, so that the fruit remains in optimal condition, shape and structure. When all the water has evaporated, a crispy piece of fruit, full of flavor, is created that you can take with you in our handy pack.
What is the difference between freeze-dried fruit and (sun)dried fruit?
The main difference and advantage is the 'vacuum' process that ensures that each fruit is de-iced at a low temperature. Because no oven or high temperature is involved, each 5th Season fruit retains its full nutritional value, taste and shape.
How much fruit is in one pack?
Each pack is equivalent to 80 grams of fresh fruit.

I have a severe nut allergy. Can I eat 5th Season?
Although our products do NOT contain nuts, they can be packaged in a factory where nut products are in circulation and we prefer not to take any risks. Sorry! :)
