About Menkar

Real fruit, slowly dried

Menkar Dried Foods turns ripe fruit into crisp, colourful slices that keep their flavour for months, so you can enjoy nature's goodness all year round.

Our story

From fresh fruit to a pantry favourite

We started Menkar Dried Foods with a simple idea: good fruit shouldn't go to waste when it's in season. By drying it gently, we lock in the colour, sweetness and nutrients, with no added preservatives.

Every slice is packed by hand into resealable kraft pouches and gift boxes, ready for snacking, cooking, entertaining and giving.

How it's made

Four careful steps

  1. Choose ripe fruit

    We select fruit at its peak, when the flavour and colour are at their best.

  2. Wash and slice

    Each fruit is washed and cut into even, thin slices so it dries consistently.

  3. Dry slowly

    The slices are dried gently over many hours until crisp, with nothing added.

  4. Pack fresh

    Once cool, they're sealed in resealable kraft pouches to keep them crisp.
