Freeze-Dried Fruits (Excl. TAS & WA)
Product Description
Freeze-drying locks in all the goodness of fresh fruit, preserving its flavour and nearly all of its nutrients. Only the juiciest, ripest fruits (no mushy fruit here!) are handpicked, washed, chopped, and freeze-dried in a clean, professional environment. Plus, we use human-grade ingredients for the best quality for your feathered companions.
Features & Benefits
- Healthy Treat Option: Freeze-dried fruits provide a low-calorie, high-fiber snack that supports overall health and digestive function in birds
- Encourages Natural Foraging Behaviour: Birds love to forage, and freeze-dried fruits can be a fun and enriching treat that stimulates their natural foraging instincts.
- Supports Immune Health: The antioxidants and vitamins in freeze-dried fruits, such as Vitamin C and Beta-Carotene, support a bird's immune system and help promote overall well-being.
- Hydration Support (when rehydrated): When rehydrated, freeze-dried fruits can help add moisture to a bird's diet, promoting hydration without the mess of fresh fruits.
However, like all good things, moderation is key.
Directions
No peeling, chopping or soaking required – just pure convenience! Serve dry for a tasty crunch or add a splash of warm water for a fresh treat in 30 seconds. You can also add it to your bird's favourite foraging toy for extra fun and enrichment.
If you would like to make smaller pieces, use a sharp knife to cut the freeze dried product.
Fruits & treats should make up no more than 5% - 10% of a bird’s daily food intake.
Storage
Freeze-dried food can last up to 25 years when sealed, but for the best taste and nutrition, use within a couple of years of purchase. Once opened, try to finish within 6 months. Always reseal tightly after use. To help preserve freshness, each pack includes an oxygen absorber – please keep it out of reach of children and pets. Since moisture is the enemy of freeze-dried food, store it in a dry place to keep it at its best.
Did You Know?
Freeze-drying removes approximately 80-90% of the water content in fruits and vegetables, significantly reducing their weight. On average, it takes 5 to 10 times the original weight of fresh produce to yield 50g of freeze-dried product, depending on the water content of the specific fruit or vegetable.
Pet Food Only
