Crunchies adds mango to freeze-dried snack line

Crunchies will highlight its “new-and-improved” Freeze-Dried Mango, which is sourced from growers in Eastern Thailand, at this year’s PMA Fresh Summit.

The freeze-drying method used by Crunchies ensures that fresh fruit and veggies retain their nutritional value while enhancing shelf life, according to the company. After harvesting, fresh produce is frozen and undergoes a low-pressure drying process in which frozen water is removed directly as steam, bypassing the liquid state. As a result, Crunchies products retain most of the nutrients of fresh, whole fruits and vegetables, and each serving of Crunchies is only around 40 calories, according to the company.

Crunchies freeze-dried products are available in both single-serve packs and larger grab-n-go resealable pouches. They contain no added sugar and no artificial flavors or coloring and are non-GMO, gluten-free, vegan, kosher and halal certified, according to the company. Crunchies’ product line includes strawberries, mango, pineapple, blueberries, raspberries, grapes, cinnamon apple, strawberry banana, mixed fruit and beets.

Crunchies products are now available in stores nationwide for an SRP of $4.99 – 5.99 for resealable pouches and $1.25 for single-serve bags.
