South African traditional mixed fruit
Our Orchard Mix is a premium-quality, traditional mix of everyone’s favourite dried fruits: gently sun-dried apricots, apples, pears, peaches and prunes.
It is delicious as is. Also try it lightly poached in a little water and, if you choose, a cinnamon stick or a grating of orange or lemon zest. For decadence, serve with a lightly spiced custard or mascarpone.
The Orchard Mix is available in 200 or 250 gram pouches. The 200g packs are resealable and are ideal for keeping on hand as an energy-rich addition to lunchboxes and for snacks on the go.
As an alternative to our larger, dried fruits, consider our mixed fruit chunks. These come in sweet/tangy combinations. Try tart apricot with juicy sweet, chewy mango; Pink Lady apple with dried guava; or dried pineapple with tangy nectarine.
They’re the perfect size for adding to cereals or yoghurt, and for enjoying by the handful.
