Snact Fruit Jerky

The Snact story began with two friends, Ilana and Michael, whose common interest was food and sustainability.   They started collecting surplus fruit in London's wholesale markets and making snacks in their kitchen.   Tonnes of perfectly good fruit and vegetables get rejected every day, so Snact turn that surplus into healthy snacks, which contribute to one of your five a day and come in two flavours.   I love this concept, we really are a race of waste and any contribution to combat waste has to be a good thing.

Apple and Mango

 Apple and Raspberry

My last experience of dried mango pieces, was in a well known high street coffee shop,

which I found dry and hard to chew.   Snacts however are naturally sweet, soft and easily chewable and although I enjoyed both, apple and mango was my favourite.   The snacks are easily portable, ideal for children's lunch boxes, or an anytime snack for anyone on the go, like my husband a keen cyclist and myself a keen walker.

The packaging is a small foil lined bag, to ensure the product is kept in tip top condition, which are recyclable in some places, but not all and this is not Snact's favourite option, but their decision to go ahead with their current packaging is explained here .   Snacts are currently working on a more environmentally friendly packaging solution, with a company that makes bio-plastics, that seems a viable and compostable option and are hoping to trial soon.

The fruit jerky is made of dried blended natural fruit flavours, are gluten free and contain less than 65 kcal per bag.   You can even buy Snact by subscription, by setting up a direct debit and can be bought in 15 or 30 bulk packs.
