We pick super
ripe fruit
We choose the best source for our fruit because quality of fruit going in = quality going out. All our fruit is ethically and sustainably sourced and certified from amongst others Spain, Turkey, Costa Rica & Peru.
Cut this in perfect
bite-size
As soon as the fruit is harvested, it is immediately cut into handy (bite-size) pieces and frozen so that it retains its taste, color, smell and nutritional value.
Use the latest
freeze-drying
technology
Rapid freezing locks in all nutrients and flavors of the fruit. This preserves all the taste of the original fruit and gives 5th Season it's unmistakable crunch. By slowly raising the temperature up to 40 degrees in a vacuum, allows us to reduce the moisture without baking the fruit (the traditional way). This is how we are able to to retain the authentic taste, shape, color and more than 90% of the nutritional value of the fruit.
To retain most of
the nutrients
Research shows that more than 90% of the original nutritional value of the fruit is preserved after freeze-drying. That means unlimited guiltfree snacking!
We pack it
for perfect
freshness
We pack our Fruit Bites in portions equivalent to 80g of fresh fruit. The Fruit Bites last up to 18 months after production, so you can safely leave the packs in the cupboard for a while! After opening a pack, we do recommend eating it all at once for the best taste experience.
