Premium natural diced dried plum cubes by Harayein, uniformly cut with a chewy texture, zero added sugar, and no sulfur, ideal for baking, muesli, and snacking.
FAQ
Cheepser precisely calibrates both core and surface moisture between 12% and 14%, passing freshly diced cubes through a chilled laminar air-curing tunnel. This rapid surface-tempering seals the outer micro-pores, preventing free fructose from weeping to the exterior. Consequently, the cubes flow freely without requiring dusting starches, anti-caking gums, or mineral oils.
Pitted plums are processed through precision 3D rotary dicers producing calibrated 8x8 mm or 10x10 mm cubes. Post-drying, the diced matrix passes over multi-deck vibratory screens. Sub-6 mm fines and oversized connected clusters are culled, delivering over 95% geometric dimensional uniformity in master cartons.
With a stable water activity (aw ~0.60) and dense cellular structure lacking excess unbound moisture, these cubes do not disintegrate during high-shear dough mixing nor do they sink to the pan bottom during oven baking. They maintain moisture equilibrium with the crumb, staying tender, juicy, and distinct without bleeding color into the batter.
Bulk boxes must be held between 10°C and 16°C with relative humidity below 50% in shaded, ventilated storage. Ambient thermal swings induce package transpiration and subsequent sugar blooming; hence, hermetically sealed multi-layer polyamide barrier vacuum bags are mandatory.
Moisture content is strictly tuned between 13% and 15%, maintaining water activity (aw) between 0.58 and 0.60. This physicochemical equilibrium guarantees succulent chewiness while halting osmophilic yeasts, molds, and pathogenic bacteria over a 12-month shelf life.
Every export lot is validated by a certified COA confirming multi-residue pesticide compliance (GC-MS/MS), heavy metals below statutory limits (Pb, Cd), non-detectable aflatoxins and Ochratoxin A, microbiological safety, alongside an official Phytosanitary Certificate.
Wholesale minimum order quantity is 50 kg. Cartons holding 5 kg net are stacked 140 per standard export pallet (120x100 cm, 700 kg net). A 40ft maritime container accommodates up to 18 metric tons of stretch-wrapped palletized cargo safely.
