Dried & Crystallised Fruit
Dried fruit is fruit from which the majority of the original water content has been removed either naturally through sun drying, or through the use of specialised dryers or dehydrators.
Crystallised fruit, candied fruit or glacé fruit, is whole fruit, smaller pieces of fruit, or pieces of peel, which are placed in heated sugar syrup. This will then absorb the moisture from within the fruit and eventually preserve it.
Dried fruits are an excellent source of dietary fibre, and they are rich in flavonoids, carotenoids and polyphenols. These antioxidants are important for reducing oxidative stress among other important functions in the body.
If you’re after a range of dried fruits for cake baking, then look no further. We have a wide selection of raisins, with everything from your humble Californian raisin to your indulgent, juicy Lexia raisin; moist Greek currants; and three delicious types of sultanas.
Good for more than just cake baking, raisins and sultanas make a delicious accompaniment to porridge, and you can add them in to more savoury dishes than you’d think.
Try swapping out unhealthier sweet snacks for dried fruits such as apple rings or figs, or try something different like a dried pear. These are all great as they are, but you could also soak or stew them if you like your dried fruit extra soft and succulent.
Our mixed fruit salad is the perfect ready mixed combination of fruits and it’s perfect for snacking, baking, or stewing. Of course, you can choose any of our dried fruits and make your own if something in the mix isn’t to your taste. Why not try adding some cranberries in to your own mix for an extra hint of sweetness?
Have you tried our organic dark apricots? No? Add some to your basket to try something really special. These are delicious with a rich, toffee-like flavour totally different to their still tasty orange siblings.
Let’s not forget the prunes! The humble dried plum is a great source of antioxidants, is rich in vitamins A and K, and they can also be effective at relieving constipation.
Dried fruits are incredibly versatile, and here at Ganesha Wholefoods, our extensive range is sure to meet your needs.
Crystallised fruits are great for adding flavour and texture to mixes such as mueslis, or an exciting addition to porridge and baked treats. Alternatively, you can simply snack on them by themselves if you are after something delectably sweet.
Try using our tangy crystallised ginger in your homemade biscuits or cakes, or incorporate it into your savoury dishes, too, to add in a fiery kick. Widely renowned for its anti-nausea properties, crystallised ginger could also help relieve symptoms from things such as travel sickness.
Try our crystallised papaya and pineapple in similar ways. Excellent sprinkled on to your morning cereal for a welcome hint of sweetness and can be an interesting way to add more flavour into some savoury dishes. Alternatively, you can add them into your favourite trail or nut mix to give it extra flavour and texture.
Thinking of baking a nice, rich fruitcake, or a Christmas pudding? Our chopped candied mixed peel is great for this. A zingy blend of citron, orange, and lemon is sure to bring some extra flavour to your cake or pudding. Why not use it also as an ingredient to make your own mincemeat this Christmas, and have a go at making your own mince pies?
Crystallised fruits have so many different, exciting ways they can be used. Add some to your basket today and see what tasty things you can make at home or have a look online for plenty of recipes and inspiration. Just remember that they’re high in sugar like any sweet treat, so they are best enjoyed in moderation.
