How much fruit is really in a pack? β What 20 g really means
20g of freeze-dried fruit β that might not sound like much at first. But did you know that this small package contains a lot? Freeze-dried fruit is almost 100% fruit β only the water is missing. And that's exactly what makes the difference.
Freeze-dried = fruit in a compact format
Freeze-drying involves a gentle process to remove the water from the fruit. The result: volume shrinks, but flavor, color, and nutrients are retained. And weight is drastically reduced.
An example:
- π 200 g fresh strawberries β yields about 20 g freeze-dried strawberries
- π₯ 100 g fresh mango β yields approx. 10 g freeze-dried mango
This means: Your pack contains a real portion of fruit β only much lighter, crispier and longer lasting.
Less mass β more intensity
The water removal gives the fruit a particularly intense flavor. A small portion is often enough to satisfy your snack cravings. And because there are no fillers or added sugar, you'll automatically eat more mindfully.
And what about the sugar content?
Of course, fruits contain fructose β but only in their natural form. A 20g serving of freeze-dried strawberries contains about as much sugar as 200g of fresh berries. This is no comparison to traditional sweets, which often contain added processed sugar.
Why this is good for you
- π‘ You get a real portion of fruit β compact but nutrient-rich
- π― You snack more consciously because every fruit has its effect
- π¦ You save space β ideal for on the go or as a storage item at home
Conclusion: Small package, big fruit power
The next time you hold a 20g pack in your hand, remember: You're not holding "a little," but highly concentrated fruit in its purest form. Perfect for conscious enjoyment β completely without additives.
More fruit is not possible β only less water.
