Origins and History of cultivation

We usually consume fresh fruit, but we know that its nutrients are retained even after the drying process. It is a process that has been known for thousands of years, ever since the fruits were dried in the sun and in the air.

Industrial dehydration can in fact be carried out with different methods, and has developed since the early 1900s, exploiting the basic principles used for centuries. Obviously, to be valid, the technique used must keep its original organoleptic properties intact.

Some exotic fruits, thus, can be dehydrated and preserved, even transported to the other side of the world, to enrich our diet. As is the case with our dehydrated exotic mix, which combines different fruits to enhance their properties.
