Freeze-dried Red Grapes
Naturally sweet and neat to eat

MOMENCE, ILLINOIS… (May 13, 2008) - Try Freeze-dried Red Grapes, an exciting new product offering from Van Drunen Farms (VDF).

Grapes are a favorite fruit for all ages. With a crisp bite, and a juicy, sweet taste, they are great for at home or on-the-go. What is not to love? In fact, according to the California Table Grape Commission, every American eats nearly 8 pounds of fresh grapes in a year. The grape’s popularity, though, is not just due to recent favorable publicity about its health benefits. Grapes are one of the oldest known cultivated fruits, and have been celebrated since ancient times for both food and wine.

Freeze-dried Red Grapes from Van Drunen Farms are a healthy snacking choice. Grapes contain beneficial compounds called phytonutrients, which are important to cardiovascular health and may reduce the risk of certain cancers and age-related illnesses. Freeze-drying preserves all of the grape’s nutritional goodness in its own naturally convenient package, and the best way to get the full health benefits that grapes afford is by eating the whole fruit, not just taking supplements.

Freeze-dried Red Grapes from Van Drunen Farms are available in whole, seedless format. Whether you eat the grapes by themselves, or deliciously combine them with other dried fruits and nuts such as pistachios, almonds or walnuts, they make a great pantry snacking standby.
