Not all fruits are created equal!  We sent scientists to scour the world in search for the most nutrient-rich, colorful and delicious fruit.  Our fruit purees, fruit powders and fruit concentrates are formulated with the very best fruits found in tropical Asia and the Americas. Many of our products are based on premium and unique fruit grades that only grow in specific districts in the world, such as our mango, guava, and blackberry.

Our products are gluten free, vegan, KSA kosher certified and non-GMO fruit. Many of our products are derived from organic fruit.

production process

GFSI and haccp certified

Our products are minimally processed in state-of-the-art GFSI food safety certified and HACCP food safety certified facilities, which deliver premium grade ingredients, many of which are certified organic.  Our food scientists and farmers work with our processor to make sure that the fruits are handled with the gentleness that retains their nutrients, color, and flavor, and ensure workers follow food safety protocol. Our premium fruits are channeled through minimal processing and cold storage for the delight of end users.

Our manufacturing facilities are U.S. FDA registered, certified organic by National Organic Program, and abide by Good Manufacturing Practices (GMP).

manufactured without nuts or soy

Our fruit products are processed in plants that process only fruit; they are free of allergens such as peanuts, milk, tree nuts, eggs, wheat, soy, fish, animal fats, seeds (cottonseed, sesame), tartrazine, and MSG.

Many dried fruits are treated with SO2 (sulfur dioxide) to protect the color and flavor of products that are intended to be stored. Because some people are allergic to SO2, we developed both low-SO2 products and no-SO2 products for customers with health concerns.
