This is how they transform the high nutrition of fruits, vegetables and dairy products into 100% natural, crunchy, and healthy snacks. These snacks don’t only conserve their essential vitamins and minerals for a healthy metabolism, but also the fresh fruit shape, taste, and smell “is as good for the health as it is pleasing to the eyes and can be enjoyed anytime and anywhere.” explains the head of the company, Hazel Topcu.
HAUS Freeze Dry is the first and only Turkish manufacturer of freeze dried products and a supplier of freeze-drying services. It supplies and processes the highest quality fruits and vegetables grown in the land of Anatolia. Haus Freeze Dry provides revenue-generating products produced to European standards with quick delivery turnaround.
“We don't modify the color, taste, shape, or smell of the fresh foods, rather we turn them into healthy, crunchy bites.” Because they are natural, the provide a crunchy, healthy alternative that can be used to substitute artificial snacks, which cause obesity and serious diseases in children.
Spoiled food costs Turkey 46.5 billion euros per year. In the past 15 years, cancer rates have increased 200% and the risk of obesity 31%. The main reasons have to do with the short shelf life of food products and the loss of 40-60% of the original product when using traditional methods of conservation, frying, or using additives. “Our products have a crunchy texture without frying, the loss caused to the original product is reduced to 4%, so the shape, color, and vitamin content continue to be the same and the shelf life extends to more than 30 years.” explains Hazel. “Additionally, our products are locally grown in order to support the local farmer and ensure high quality products.”
