How is the dehydration process of your dehydrated snacks and fruits?

After harvesting, fresh fruits and vegetables undergo an artificial drying process in an infrared oven at controlled low temperatures, which causes them to lose their water content and reduce their size and weight, although they maintain their nutritional properties, as well as their color and flavor. Perhaps, for this reason, this is one of the oldest methods of food preservation in existence.

Where do the raw materials for your products come from?

All VidaViva Ecofood products are made from 100% organic raw materials that come from our own crops on the island of La Palma (Canary Islands), World Biosphere Reserve known as “La Palma”.
