Kentary Unsweetened Soft Dried Strawberries are a delicious and nutritious snack made from 100% carefully selected fresh strawberries. The product fully retains the sweet and slightly tangy flavor characteristic of strawberries, and ensures health safety thanks to modern AD (Air Drying) technology and no added sugar. This article will explore in depth the origin of the ingredients, production process, nutritional composition, health benefits, and usage of Kentary’s soft dried strawberries.

Origin and Production Process

Fresh strawberries are carefully selected from high-quality farms in Da Lat. Kentary collaborates with trusted growers who apply modern cultivation methods to ensure a high-quality, pesticide-free supply of strawberries. After harvesting, the strawberries are quickly transported to the factory to retain their optimal freshness.

Air Drying (AD) technology removes moisture gradually at a controlled temperature, preserving the strawberries’ natural color, flavor, and nutritional content. This process differs from high-heat drying methods by preventing caramelization and preserving antioxidants like anthocyanins and vitamin C. The final moisture content is maintained at 17%, resulting in a chewy and appealing texture.
