The freeze-drying process is a gentle preservation method (removing water through freezing and drying), which retains all the flavor, vitamins, and minerals while making the fruit long-lasting and easy to transport. In this form, you can take it with you on vacations, trips, or hikes, and once added to water, it rehydrates to taste just like fresh fruit.

With just a few pieces of freeze-dried fruit, you can create your own sugar-free, naturally flavored water, the perfect healthy and delicious refreshment on a hot summer day.

In most cases, citrus fruits available in stores are treated with various chemicals (such as imazalil and thiabendazole) to prevent spoilage and mold during long-distance transportation. These chemicals cannot be washed off and are harmful to health, making treated citrus peels unsuitable for consumption. Unfortunately, many restaurants and bars don’t check whether their citrus fruits have been treated, meaning that with every delicious lemonade, you might also be consuming chemical residues.

The citrus fruits used in Mendula Lemonade Fruits come from guaranteed untreated sources, so if you want to be sure your drink is free of chemicals but don’t have access to untreated citrus, this blend is the perfect solution for making your lemonade.
