Why Use Dried Fruit?

Traina Dried Fruit is the ingredient that gives your customers what they want… Convenience, Added Value, Versatility and Signature Appeal.

Convenience - Right from the box, Traina dried fruits are ready-to-use as an ingredient or as a snack. When using dried fruit in a batter or sponge application steam or hydrate briefly before beginning to bake scones, cookies, muffins and fruited yeast breads. When used in a sauce, allow for liquid migration and adjust liquid ingredients accordingly.

Added Value - Labor saving, marketable health benefits, no-waste and extended (refrigerated) shelf life adds up to pennies per portion. Adding dried fruit to grain dishes takes the dish from common to exotic. Salads benefit from the color, sweet flavor and texture of dried fruit.

Versatility - Dried fruit and dried fruit sauces enhance menus of every type of food operations. Recommend Traina Sauce Bases to the white tablecloth restaurant operator seeking innovative, intense flavor for pan-finishing sauces. A grilled chicken breast with dried fruit chutney takes on upscale appeal for the casual dining establishment. Most ethnic cuisines have their own version of pasta and noodles. Sun-dried products feature prominently in many of those cuisines.

Signature Appeal - There's an easy way to use dried fruit in every day-part segment, helping your customer set their menu apart from the competition. An easy granola becomes the operator's-own granola when a combination of dried fruit is mixed into the blend. Signature trail mix is easy with Traina diced sun-dried fruit, and cheese tortes or appetizers can be made in minutes. Traina understands how to position sun dried products into every day-part segment. Contact us to discuss our individualized marketing approach to accounts including customized marketing materials.
