On the other hand, we are part of a great global community so we also believe in fair trade and sustainability. We respect the environment and closely work with agricultural communities, in order to achieve quality standards in our products and exceed the expectations of our clients. We also work closely with farmers to ensure that there are no additives or pesticides in our fruit; carrying out processes that are friendly to the environment in our region. And at the same time, pay fair to the farmers so that they can continue with their activities and promote organic agriculture in the world.
The process of dehydration of Instantia´s fruits, such as dried banana, begins with choosing the farmers we work with, we give continuous monitoring on the cultivation of fruits, the evaluation that is carried out to maintain our organic certifications include the process from the cultivation so that with us you will be sure of the quality of our products.
In our company, we are committed to the selection of our fruits and an intensive care in the drying process so that our products are internationally competitive. Farmers who produce organic products maintain traditional practices to ensure that products are of the highest quality and to ensure it; the products must pass through certifications and studies that assure to the consumer that they are consuming natural products and of the best quality. They make visits to the place where they are produced to verify how they are cultivated, that they comply with the quality and hygiene required. Currently, we sell in Europe and the United States, which are the most demanding markets and we fulfill their expectations. In addition, we work 365 days a year to provide the best service, price, and products.
Previously, the dehydration process of the fruits was done leaving them in the sun during the spring or summer and in this way they were dehydrated. However, when this method was used, the fruit was contaminated by different germs and bacteria that are in the environment or not maintained a process in which all the nutrients of the fruits and vegetables were maintained. We must remember that this method was used to keep fruit during the winter or be able to consume in different seasons of the year when that fruit or vegetable could not grow.
Currently, we use industrial ovens with the latest technology that allows us to prevent the proliferation of batteries and other viruses in fruits. When using ovens, the temperature of the fruit increases more than if they were out in the open in the sun, and the possible bacteria die, making dehydration better quality while maintaining all the nutrients.
One of the particularities of dried fruit is that when dehydrating, the fruit reduces its size so that fructose and other nutrients are concentrated in the new size of the fruit, making its flavor sweeter and more nutritious.
In Instantia, we take our newly harvested fruits to cut into smaller pieces and then take them to the ovens, each fruit takes special care to maintain its properties, and then it is packaged to keep it dry and fresh. The whole chain is organic so you will be sure that our products do not have pesticides, additives, added sugars or flavorings that alter their taste, color, and smell. The dried fruits are more popular because people have begun to know the benefits they have and because they can be used as a compliment in a large number of dishes increasing the nutritional properties of each. For example, the dried banana is ideal for smoothies, pastries, and salads. There are thousands of easy and quick recipes that will allow you to continue with a healthy lifestyle easily. And the best of the dried banana is that it is ideal for athletes, children and pregnant women because of all the excellent properties it has.
At Instantia, we are concerned about keeping our products 100% natural so we do not add preservatives or any substances that may be harmful to health. In addition, our products do not contain added sugar to take care of our customers’ nutrition and health.
