Freeze-Dried Apple Drops
Flora 30

The puree is made from organic apples and pineapples and enriched with 30 important bacterial cultures.

Apple

The apple (Malus domestica) is one of the world's most widely cultivated fruits. It belongs to the rose family (Rosaceae) and has a history dating back to ancient times. Originally from central Asia, apples are now cultivated in almost all temperate climate zones around the world. Apples are available in many varieties that differ in taste, colour and texture.

Pineapple

The pineapple (Ananas comosus) belongs to the bromeliad family. It is an unusual plant in that it produces only one pineapple fruit, which grows for a full 13 to 15 months before it is ready for harvesting. The pineapple consists of an intertwined berry-fruit cluster and a core. The term "comosus" (part of the scientific name) is the Latin word for "tuft," which refers to the characteristic leafy tuft of the fruit. The cultivation of pineapples has a long history: it was consumed by indigenous peoples in South America as food and wine.

30 Bacteria Cultures

30 of the most important lacto- & bifidobacteria strains are added to the delicious organic fruit puree:

Bifidobacterium breve Bbr8 and BI10, Bifidobacterium animalis ssp. lactis Bi1 and BLC1, Lactobacillus rhamnosus CRL1505, SP 1 and LB21, Lactococcus lactis ssp.lactis SP 38, Lactobacillus reuteri LR92, Streptococcus thermophilus Z57, Bifidobacterium longum ssp.longum SP 54, Bifidobacterium bifidum SP 9, Bifidobacterium longum ssp.infantis SP 37, Lactobacillus acidophilus LA1 and LA 3, Lactobacillus delbrueckii ssp.bulgaricus LB2, Lactobacillus casei BGP93, Lactobacillus crispatus SP 28, Lactobacillus fermentum CS57, Lactobacillus gasseri SP 56 and SP 33, Lactobacillus helveticus SP 27, Lactobacillus plantarum LB931, BG 112 and 14D, Lactobacillus paracasei IMC502 and 101/37, Lactobacillus salivarius SP 2, Lactobacillus rhamnosus IMC 501 and LR1.

Our freshly harvested fruits are pureed, enriched with 30 bacterial cultures and gently freeze-dried in order to preserve sensitive ingredients such as flavours and bioactives. In the first step, the enriched fruit purees are frozen at very low temperatures, freezing their water content. Next, the pressure is reduced and the temperature is slowly increased so that the ice transitions directly from a solid to a gas. This removes the majority of the water from the purees. In the final step, the remaining water is extracted, giving the drops their porous, light structure and extremely long shelf life.

This gentle freeze-drying method ensures the retention of the fruit's natural flavour and its full spectrum of nutrients. Our freeze-dried fruits can be enjoyed all year round with the added benefit of 30 bacterial strains.
