FAQ — Frequently Asked Questions
- What is the difference between slices and fruit crispy granules?
- The slices are whole freeze-dried apple rings, composed of 98% fruit. Crispy granules (like raspberry, pineapple, or cherry ranges) are made from concentrated juices and glucose syrup, with a size of 2 to 10 mm. The slices offer a stronger visual impact and a purer ingredient profile; the crispys are more uniform and suitable for coating or bulk inclusions.
- Why is the product fragile and how should it be handled?
- Freeze-drying removes almost all moisture from the fruit, making the slices very light but also very mechanically fragile. It is important to avoid shocks to the container and to handle the slices carefully during plating. To move them, preferably use fine tweezers or a spatula rather than fingers.
- When should I place the slices on my creations?
- Always at the very last minute, just before serving or delivery. In contact with a moist surface (cream, icing, mousse), the slices quickly absorb moisture and lose their crunch and firmness.
- How long do they keep after opening?
- Maximum 15 days with a silica sachet, at room temperature (15-25 °C). Without a desiccant sachet, the slices absorb ambient moisture and soften very quickly. It is recommended to carefully reseal the jar after each use.
