Unlike other fruits, tomatoes don’t make great snacks—as nutritious as they are, their soft texture and awkward shape don’t hold up well on the go—unless they're freeze-dried, like Panfruit's Freeze-Dried Cherry Tomatoes.
These crispy, low-calorie, freeze-dried halved cherry tomatoes are packed with Vitamins A, B, C and E, plus they're a source of magnesium, calcium, iron and phosphorus. Entirely natural in color, this snack contains a mix of red and yellow cherry tomatoes and with their water content removed, they're said to be even more fragrant than their fresh counterparts.
Thanks to their snackable, portable format, these freeze-dried cherry tomatoes are ready to enjoy on their own, but they also provide the perfect accompaniment to salads and pastas.
