vital substances:

Strawberries contain phytochemicals that may well have an anti-inflammatory effect, have the potential to reduce cardiovascular disease and cancer, and have a positive effect on cholesterol levels [1].

Our dried strawberries not only impress with their taste, but also with their increased vitamin C content [1 and 2]. Vitamin C protects our body from free radicals, strengthens our connective tissue, optimizes calcium and iron absorption and supports our immune system.

Dried strawberries contain the same nutrients and vital substances as fresh strawberries, only in a concentrated form. They are therefore an even better and, above all, healthy source of vital substances for our body. Nature arranged it so that the berries provide everything we need.

Description:

The dried organic fair trade strawberries are light to dark red, very beautiful in color and shape. The consistency is soft. They hardly stick together. They have a very intense and very fruity strawberry taste. They are pleasantly sweet and slightly sour.

By the end of the season, they usually dry out a bit and the color becomes darker, which in turn is a sign of quality, because this shows that the strawberries have not been sulphurised. Storage between +2 and +6 degrees is ideal for dried fruit and slows down darkening.

Origin and manufacture:

We obtain the organic fair trade strawberries exclusively from Uzbekistan. They ripen in the regions around Samarkand. The area is largely organic and FAIRTRADE certified and is farmed by the FAIRTRADE farmers who live there. The farmers belong to a large Fairtrade community made up of 3 groups, Dustkul Bogi, Turkiston Gulba and Turob Bobo.

They include around 1,000 individual farmers, along with their families. Thanks to the cooperation with Fairtrade, the farmers can offer their families a secure income and their children a new perspective.

After harvesting, the strawberries are cleaned, sliced and then gently dried with the help of the sun. The drying process used is a very environmentally friendly solar drying method that is extremely gentle on the product.

Purity:

In Austria, the strawberries are pressure treated and checked several times. When it comes to printing, the interaction of pressure and time ensures absolute freedom from pests.
