FAQs
What are Superfood powder blends?
100% natural, vegan powder blends containing real fruit, vegetables and seeds freeze-dried and grounded into powder – nothing else. An easy way to squeeze in more nutrition to naturally boost immunity and general well-being.
What is meant by freeze-dried?
Freeze-drying is a healthy and gentle process used to preserve fresh foods so it can last longer without preservatives. The process of freeze drying involves fresh fruits and vegetables being placed in a vacuum chamber with a below-freezing temperature. The water molecules in the food solidify before becoming a gas, which then leaves the food and disperses. Through this process, the moisture is removed and much of the nutrition remains, making it an effective method for preserving food.
If the moisture isn’t removed, bacteria will thrive and feed, leading the fresh fruit and veg to become mouldy and inedible overtime.
Freeze-drying fruit preserves over 90% of the nutritional value of fresh produce. It’s grounded into fine powder, making it a deeply concentrated source of nutrients, meaning a little can go a long way. This can then be easily distributed and mixed into a variety of foods.
What is the shelf life/expiry date?
Our products have a 2 year shelf life from manufacturing. However, once opened please see back of pouch when to consume by.
Store them in a cool, dry place away from moisture, direct sunlight and humidity to avoid clumping of the powder.
Please note: all blends can form clumps overtime. However, this doesn't affect their edibility or quality– crush with hand or place in a blender and continue to use as normal.
Please RE-SEAL pack each time after use.
How have the powder blends been produced?
Raw whole foods have been through a process of cleaning & sterilization, before being diced and placed in temperatures of (-27c)
The fruit then enters a drying process where the moisture content is removed before it's pulverized into fine powder.
Our powders are 3rd party tested to ensure they are free from chemicals and bacteria.
Are the pouches recyclable?
Yes. However, only specialist recycling - material code 7.
Our freeze-dried products are in durable, non transparent and high barrier stand up pouches which also include an aluminium lining. This gives the contents inside the best protection against moisture, humidity and daylight.
It also helps to keep the product fresh and preserve its quality including colour, flavour, and nutritional profile.
