During the freeze-drying process, a gentle method (freeze-drying) removes the water from the fruit, preserving all its flavor, vitamins, and minerals, while making it long-lasting and easy to transport. In this form, you can take it with you on vacations, trips, or hikes, and when placed in water, it becomes practically the same as fresh fruit.
By adding a few pieces of freeze-dried fruit, you can create your own homemade, sugar- and sweetener-free flavored water, which is the best choice on a hot summer day when you crave something truly healthy and refreshing.

Why is this important?
The peel of citrus fruits available in Hungary is usually treated with various chemicals (imazalil, thiabendazole, etc.) to prevent spoilage or mold during long-distance transport. However, these chemicals are harmful to health and cannot be removed by washing, making treated citrus peels unsafe for consumption.

In restaurants and bars, it is common practice to use citrus fruits without considering whether their peel has been treated, meaning there is a high chance that, along with your delicious lemonade, you are also consuming a significant amount of chemical residues.

The citrus fruits used in Mendula Lemonade Fruits are guaranteed to be untreated, so if you want to be sure and don’t have access to untreated citrus, make your lemonade with this instead.
