HALO Snacks: Delicious and Healthy Snacking Options

Crunchy, munchy, crispy, flavourful - these are just some of the words that pop into one’s mind while thinking about snacks. Today’s market boasts of a seemingly endless amount of snacking options - there is much to choose from! But one thing that is perhaps lacking within the market is the presence of healthy snacking options.

The words “healthy” and “snacks” don’t pair well, do they? It is a common misconception that healthy snacks miss the mark when it comes to flavour and crunch - two very important characteristics of a snack. However, this is gradually changing. As people are becoming increasingly health-conscious, the prevalence of healthy snacking options is seeing a gradual rise in the market.

 

Healthy snack? 

Firstly, what defines a healthy snack? There are several criteria one should consider when purchasing a healthy snack:

• A healthy snack satiates one’s craving but does not spoil their appetite, especially during mealtime.
• Healthy snacks keep one energized.
• Components of a healthy snack are often nutrients that are good for the body.

 And among the several options is HALO freeze dried fruit snacks - a delicious and healthy snacking option for all! Let’s dig into these scrumptious snacks.

 

What are freeze dried fruit snacks?

Everything you need to know is in the name itself - HALO freeze dried fruit snacks. This uses a  process known as lyophilisation. Fresh fruits, such as strawberries from Lonavala are procured and frozen at an extremely low temperature. The second step is vaporizing the water in the fruit by directly converting the solid to gas. The process results in an airy, crunchy piece of fruit that lasts much longer while also retaining most of its vitamins, minerals and other nutrients. The pieces of fruit are then packed with love in zip lock bags that ensure the crunchiness of the fruit snacks even after opening the pack.

 

How are HALO fruit snacks healthy? 

There are plenty of steps that have been taken to ensure that HALO fruit snacks are healthy and can be consumed by people of all ages. What about these fruit snacks make them healthy? Let’s find out:

• The process of freeze drying ensures that the fruit snacks retain their nutritional integrity.
