Dried Fruit & Fruit Products | |
At Healthy Supplies, we encourage snacking on fruit at regular intervals. We believe that it's good to eat as diverse a range of fruits as possible throughout the day, in order to vary your nutritional intake. Fruit provides fibre, energy and minerals. Some fruits such as blueberries and goji berries contain antioxidants and freeze dried fruit (such as strawberries) still retain much of their vitamin c.
For convenience, you may like to try our specially selected fruit bars, for on the go snacking. |

Dried Apple Rings make quite a moreish snack, and you can also chop them up and add them to muesli. We also supply preservative-free dried apples.  | Most manufacturers of dried apricots add sulphur dioxide to them to keep them looking orange. Though this has not been proven to be harmful, it's totally unnecessary, so we sell unsulphured apricots instead of the bright orange ones. Of particular note are the Crazy Jack Apricots, which are very tasty. |

The Aronia Berry is a sharp tasting fruit originally from North America. It is quite tart in flavour and would balance out a sweet breakfast cereal, go with yoghurt & honey or stew well with red meats and spices. | If you think of dried bananas, you might be forgiven for thinking that they are hard chips of banana that break your teeth. Most people also don't realise that those chips usually contain sugar. However, we recommend the exciting Bogoya Banana Strips and Chewy Banana Chips, which are 100% banana and much more chewy and banana-like. |
|
| Dried berries in various forms. | Dried blackberries, suitable for snacking or pie-making. |
|
| Blackcurrants have a natural tartness that works well in smoothies or pies. | Dried Blueberries often contain added sugar, to stop them from going hard. However, we also offer freeze-dried blueberries that are 100% blueberry. |
|
Cherries are rich in anthocyanins, which are a powerful antioxidant and have also been shown to ease inflammation. Of course, they also taste excellent. | Lemon, lime and grapefruit can add tangy flavour to both sweet and savoury cooking. Take a look at the preserved lemons, lime powder and grapefruit marmalade. |
|
Coconuts are technically a fruit, though with nut-like characteristics.
We supply many coconut-based products including coconut flakes for snacking or muesli, coconut powder and coconut water. | The cranberry is well-known for its beneficial effect on the urinary tract. We stock freeze-dried cranberries that simply taste of cranberry, as well as sweetened cranberries for those who are not used to the sourness. |
|
Dates are an incredibly popular fruit, particularly around the middle east where they are considered a staple part of the diet. A lot of the fruit bars that we sell contain dates, because they are very good at holding stuff together. | Our range of figs includes the tasty Crazy Jack Figs, which are softer and made from a variety with thinner skin. Figs are a common health food due to their high fibre content. |
|
Sweet, Soft and Mildly SpicedGinger is not actually a fruit, but we have included crystallised and preserved stem ginger here because they are sweet and snackish. Sweetened ginger's soft fruity texture and flavour makes it ideal for fruit cakes, ginger bread recipes and other desserts. | Goji Berries are the source of a lot of media attention, because they are considered to be very good for you. This is due to their high content of a lot of useful nutrients including vitamins, minerals and antioxidants. Goji Berries have a high vitamin C content, even when dried. |

|
| Dried strawberries are ideal for adding to breakfasts, or as a healthy snack. | Tomatoes are, of course, a savoury fruit. They are high in lycopene, which is a very well-known and powerful antioxidant. Sun-dried tomatoes are great for cooking and make an interesting snack. |
|
| A range of mixed fruits and tropical fruit. | Tiny tangy berries that are packed with vitamin c, antioxidants and essential fats. These can be eaten raw in smoothies, yoghurts and on salads. |

Our freeze-dried fruit is particularly tasty, and unlike the stuff that is commonly found in high-street breakfast cereals. It is much more flavoursome, with a sensation that bursts on the tongue! We have a full range of freeze-dried fruit, including strawberries, cherries, grapes, pineapples, blueberries and bananas. | Dried fruit powder. Completely natural and containing no artificial ingredients. Fruit powders can be used in both sweet and savoury cooking. Most of our powders can be used to make milkshakes, jelly, lollies, fruity yoghurt, sauces and desserts. |
