You are what you eat – health and wellbeing are becoming increasingly important to consumers. But what constitutes healthy foods? What healthy foods are there, and who are they of interest to? Our blog highlights new products and trends.
An increasing number of consumers are adopting a health-conscious diet. They are looking for sustainable foods and beverages that optimize their well-being in a holistic way. In the process, they are paying attention to clean labels and “better-for-you” formulations. In general, more and more people are consuming more consciously and supporting brands that are sustainable and display social responsibility.
Adding fresh fruit and vegetables to your products may not always be the best option. Fresh products spoil fast, they can be difficult to transport and are often not really suitable for further processing. This is why dried foods are so popular. However, the process of drying is not so simple and although a great variety of options exists – from solar to microwave drying to oven drying – we at Paradiesfrucht are certain that freeze-drying is the best possible option for your products. Here is why!
Delicious and long-lasting – what makes freeze-dried food so valuable.
In the second of our two-part blog series, we delve further into the benefits of specifying Freeze-Dried fruits for a variety of applications and how they can help food and drink manufacturers to meet a rising demand for ‘better for you’ products.

The corona pandemic has clearly shown us that health is our most valuable asset. Accordingly, consumers are now attaching importance to healthier alternatives in almost all areas of life – and this also applies to the food and gastronomy sector. We see the importance of health in the food industry on the rise. But how exactly can these two concepts be linked? What constitutes a healthy food and how can it best be used? Our blog also deals with these questions in informative and catchy posts about healthy food.
Healthy food refers to foods that have a positive effect on people’s health and well-being. Especially natural ingredients without artificial additives are highly valued in a diet that is focused on health. However, biological, organic and sustainable production is also becoming more and more crucial in this regard. Foods rich in fiber as well as vitamins are also part of healthy food, because they give energy and strengthen the immune system without containing an excess of calories. Allergies and intolerances are also important to consider. Consumers looking for healthy foods want to be sure that they can safely enjoy the foods in question.
Products such as cereal or granola bars, granola cups or trail mixes are popular healthy foods because they are high in fiber and at the same time high in taste. These products become even tastier with the addition of dried fruit, fruit drops or fruit granules, for which we offer a wide range of varieties. In order to make bars and other snacks edible for people suffering from allergies, nut-free granules and pastes with nut flavor are very popular. These can also be found in our assortment and facilitate access to healthy food for people with allergies.
Freeze-dried fruits are just as great for healthy foods. They offer delicious flavors and textures but are also great immune boosters and low-sugar alternatives to other products. The natural fructose means they can do without added sugar, which continues to be very popular with consumers. This makes them ideal as a healthy snack – a trend that is increasingly taking over the food industry at the moment. Paradiesfrucht also offers freeze-dried fruits with a clean label promise, which proves the organic and natural production of our products.
