City Snacks: The New Kid On The Block

We’re always on the lookout for new and exciting products to bring to our store. Some of them are new to the market, some of them are just new to us, but all of them are awesome. Our most recent find is from a Canadian company – City Snacks.

What are City Snacks?

Made from freeze-dried fruits, these kid-friendly snacks are delicious, nutritious, and non-GMO. There’s no added sugar, no preservatives, just delicious fruit for your children to enjoy!

Made in Montreal, these snacks have the consistency of a chip, but all the sweetness of your favorite fruits. And, as a bonus, each bag of City Snacks is “single origin”. That means, if you’ve got a picky eater on your hands, you don’t have to worry about their apples touching their mangoes. If you’re looking for apples, you’ll get apples!

How does freeze drying affect the fruit?

It really doesn’t that much, apart from the texture. Because freeze drying doesn’t apply heat, freeze-dried food retains 97% of its nutrients, as opposed to dehydrated fruit at 60%, and canned fruit at 40%. It also retains its smell, flavour, and colour.

In addition, freeze drying food can extend the shelf-life of a food by up to 25 years. This goes a long way towards fighting food waste, which is a big problem in our society. The average family of four throws away approximately 40% of the food they purchase in a year. That can add up to over $2000 in wasted food! With City Snacks, you don’t have to worry about that. You can take it anywhere without worrying about spoilage.

So come on in and let your child try City Snacks. Who knows? You may just enjoy them yourself!
