Freeze-Dried Sweet Cherry MEKI FD Whole Berry Snack 15g

Freeze-Dried Sweet Cherry MEKI FD No Added Sugar Pitted Whole Berry Snack 15g

Freeze-dried sweet cherry MEKI FD is a single-ingredient trail snack produced from whole pitted sweet cherries without added sugars, sweeteners, or preservatives. Each 15 g pack is made from 156 g of fresh sweet cherries, concentrated through freeze drying to retain the nutritional profile of the original fruit. Sweet cherries are a natural source of carotene, vitamin C, boron, and anthocyanins — a group of antioxidants present in significantly higher concentrations in sweet cherries than in sour cherries. The product is manufactured in Estonia by Freezedry OÜ and is suitable for hiking, backpacking, and outdoor use as a lightweight, nutrient-dense fruit snack.

The MEKI FD sweet cherry pack is well suited as a trail snack on the Soomaa National Park trails in Estonia, where multi-day routes through floodplain forest and bog terrain require lightweight, calorie-efficient food that does not require preparation. The 15 g format fits into a hip belt pocket and provides a concentrated source of natural sugars and antioxidants during rest stops without the need for water rehydration. The high anthocyanin content of sweet cherries supports recovery during consecutive high-output hiking days, where oxidative stress from sustained physical effort is a relevant factor. The sealed pack format protects the contents from moisture absorption in humid forest and wetland environments.

Technical Specifications

Fabric and Technology

• Freeze-drying (lyophilisation): moisture is removed at low temperature under vacuum, preserving cell structure, colour, and nutritional content of the fresh fruit.
• No heat treatment applied — vitamins, carotene, and heat-sensitive anthocyanins remain intact compared to conventional drying methods.
• Pitted whole berry format: sweet cherries are freeze-dried without stones and intact, retaining texture and visual appearance.
• No added sugars, sweeteners, flavour enhancers, or preservatives — ingredient list contains sweet cherries only.
• Sealed pack format protects against moisture reabsorption during storage and transport in variable outdoor conditions.
