We reduce food waste in two key ways.

(1) Whenever possible, we use upcycled ingredients that may have otherwise been wasted. This makes the supply chain more circular by ensuring produce is not wasted due to cosmetic "flaws" that have no effect on flavor or nutrition. Once it is dried and ground to a powder, a beautiful berry and an ugly berry become identical!

(2) Our drying technology locks in nearly all flavor and nutrients while extending shelf-life from days to years. Our research shows that despite recent consumer interest in utilizing "imperfect" produce, perishability is responsible for a higher percentage of overall food waste. By making real fruits and vegetables nonperishable, we make the entire supply chain more robust. This reduces waste at every point along the supply chain, from the farm to your fridge!

Fresh produce is heavy, bulky, fragile, and perishable. Shipping this produce requires carbon-intensive refrigerator trucks moving fast enough to prevent the produce from spoiling.

A piece of fruit is made up of 75%-95% water. By removing this water before shipping, we eliminate up to half of the shipping emissions. You simply add this water back when you're ready to enjoy the product, reydrating the produce to its original texture, form, and flavor!
