Apple Maca Drops
Organic, Freeze-Dried

Our freeze-dried puree is made from organic apples and pineapples and enriched with organic maca root powder powder.

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.

Maca

The famous maca plant (Lepidium meyenii) is a member of the cruciferous family. It belongs to the genus Lepidium and is therefore related to watercress, garden cress, rapeseed and mustard. Maca is native to the Peruvian Andes and has been cultivated there at high altitudes for around 2000 years. Maca is also known as Peruvian ginseng and is a staple food in the Andes. Primarily the tubers of the maca plant are used, which have a slightly sweet flavour.

Our freshly harvested fruits are pureed, enriched with organic maca root powder 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 maca root powder.
