What are upcycled snacks?
Upcycled fruit snacks are made from fruit that are ugly, surplus or even by-products from making other fruit-based products. Instead of wasting these ingredients, they are reused and turned into new snacks.
Why use ugly or surplus fruit?
It’s hard for us to ignore how much apples are rejected because they don’t meet cosmetic standards, like size, shape, colour or even shine! These don’t affect taste or nutrition, so we choose to use those apples instead.
How are apple chips different from fresh apples?
Our apple chips are solar-baked, which reduces most of their water and makes them extra crispy with stronger flavours than fresh apples being juicy, soft and prone to spoilage.
Are apple chips as healthy as fresh apples?
Most health concerns come from store-bought apple chips that have added sugar or additives, which can make them less healthy. If you choose natural apple chips with no added sugar, they can be as healthy as eating fresh apples.
Do apple chips contain added sugar?
Some brands on the market contain added sugar, but ours don’t. Our apples are picked when they are ripe, so they are naturally sweet on their own. We don’t add sugar, even in our flavoured chips.
Are they suitable for vegans?
Yes, they are suitable for vegans and 100% plant-based in their whole natural form, going through only minimal processing.
