Made for your business.

We supply restaurants and bars that want real fruit for the kitchen and the bar, cafes and offices that want a clean snack to keep around, and gifting and retail that should be better than the usual box.

Our ingredients list is one line.

Just the fruit. We start with fruit that's properly ripe, sun-dry it, and pack it fresh with the date printed on every bag. That's the whole process. What makes it taste this good is the ripe fruit and the sun. What makes it different is everything we don't add.

Most dried fruit is closer to candy than fruit.

That bright orange colour in most dried mango doesn't come from the fruit. It comes from a chemical called sulphur dioxide. The sweetness usually comes from added sugar. You pick it up thinking it's healthy, and the ingredients list tells a different story.

The bright orange you see on most shelves comes from a chemical called sulphur dioxide, not from the fruit. Ours is darker because we leave it out.

Why you can trust it

  • One ingredient: the fruit
  • No added sugar
  • No chemicals, no preservatives, no sulphur
  • Sun-dried in small batches, packed fresh
  • Packing date on every bag

Why ours looks darker.

The bright orange dried fruit in shops gets its colour from sulphur dioxide. We don't use it, so ours dries to its real, deeper colour. Less perfect on a shelf. Better in your body.

The family

We're a small family, and we make everything in small batches. We eat it ourselves, every day. We follow one rule: if we wouldn't give it to our own family, it doesn't go into a pack.

For restaurants, bars & business

Let's put something together.

Tell us which fruits you want and the quantity you need. We'll send samples so you can taste it first, then work out the rest with you.

FAQ

Questions, answered plainly.

Because we don't use sulphur dioxide, the chemical that keeps most dried fruit bright orange. Without it, fruit dries to its natural, darker colour. Darker is the honest version, not lower quality.

None at all. We use ripe fruit that's already sweet and simply sun-dry it. If a piece tastes sweet, that sweetness came from the fruit.

It's a chemical used to keep dried fruit bright and to make it last longer. It's allowed and very common. We just don't think good dried fruit needs it. Some people, including many with asthma, prefer to avoid it too. We'd rather make fruit that doesn't need a chemical to look fresh.

Kept sealed in a cool, dry place, it stays good for several months. The best-before date is printed on every bag, along with the date we packed it, so you never have to guess.

Restaurants, bars, cafes and offices, along with gifting and retail. If you need cleanly-made dried fruit in quantity, talk to us.

Message us on WhatsApp with the fruits you're after and a rough quantity. We'll send samples, then work out the details with you. The button is at the top of the page.

Yes. We pack fresh and ship across India.

Because we'd rather make three fruits well than ten badly. Small batches let us keep everything fresh and honest. More is on the way.

Pick up any other pack of dried fruit and read the back. Then read ours. That difference is the whole reason we started.
