About Our Products

All of our garnishes are handcrafted in small batches in Auckland, New Zealand. A garnish item may be sold out in some cases, either due to high demand or the seasonality of fruits, which may not be available all year round.

Where fruit is in season and available, please allow 3-5 business days for us to meet production demands for items that are sold out.

We choose the best fresh fruit, sourced locally where possible with the help of our produce suppliers. We fully inspect every piece of fruit to make sure it meets our high standard. We need our dehydrated fruit to look and taste great!

Our lemons, limes, oranges and kiwifruit come in wheels whilst our pineapples come in half-moons. Occasionally larger fruit will come sliced (half wheels). 

Note: If a particular type of dehydrated citrus is required, please leave a note on checkout.

Yes! All of our dehydrated products are made with 100% whole fruit, without any additives, processed in sterilized and BPA-free equipment from rinsing to slicing to packaging. Our products have a wide range of uses, including flavouring hot and cold drinks, filling for cheese platters and grazing boards, healthy snacks, festive craft and cake decoration. 

If you want to go one step further, freeze them in your ice moulds or grind into a powder and add to salts or sugars and us for rimming glassware (ideal for Margaritas!).

This all depends on the sugar content of the fruit. When drying, fruit may become darker if the sugar content is high.  We always aim for our citrus wheels to be as light as possible while ensuring the fruit is fully dried for storage and transport.

Our dehydrated fruit will keep for at least 12 months if stored correctly. Store your dehydrated fruit in an airtight glass or plastic jar with a tight-fitting lid and keep them in a cool, dark cupboard. If you keep them in the packaging we send you, expect a 12-month safe storage time.
