Sulphur-Free Dried Fruit in South Africa
Our select range of sulphur-free dried fruit is harvested, expertly dried and packaged in its natural state. Choose from succulent figs or pitted dates; chewy cherries or blueberries; and a delicious range of kids’ fruit bites. No artificial colours, preservatives or other additives.
Why choose sulphur-free dried fruit?
Sulphur dioxide and other sulphites are naturally occurring compounds, and are considered food-safe in recommended amounts. But sulphites don’t suit everyone.
Our sulphur-free range is ideal for parents and anyone else looking to avoid food additives.
Why sulphur dioxide is commonly added to dried fruit
Sulphur dioxide is widely used as a food preservative and antioxidant. In the case of fruit, it inhibits the oxidation process. As fruit dries, it’s this process that tends to strip the fruit of nutrients and colour.
When treated with sulphur dioxide, dried fruit doesn’t spoil or discolour as easily, and has a longer shelf life.
Not all the dried fruit we offer at Cecilia’s Farm is sulphur-free. We use sulphur dioxide particularly for soft dried fruits like peaches, apricots, pears and nectarines. This is so it retains its succulence, flavour and colour.
However, we’re pleased to be able to offer a select range of dried fruits, bars, nuts, coconut flakes and kids’ fruit bites that are completely free from sulphites and other additives.
