Harayein Dried Blood Orange Slices

The crimson hue is 100% natural, powered by anthocyanin pigments (specifically cyanidin-3-glucoside) synthesized in the vesicles during cool Mediterranean night shifts in Northern Iran, preserved without artificial food colors.

Because anthocyanins degrade and brown above 50°C, Cheepser utilizes dehumidifying heat-pump drying tunnels operating at 42-45°C, ensuring the chromatic fidelity and bio-active antioxidant properties remain undamaged.

Blood orange exhibits a deeper raspberry-tinged tart profile. Due to its striking crimson-amber visual contrast, it is preferred by premium beverage mixologists for cocktail garnish and luxury pastry chefs over standard yellow oranges.

Storage must be maintained under 15°C and below 50% RH in light-blocking corrugated shippers. Prolonged exposure to ambient UV or intense fluorescent lighting causes slow degradation of anthocyanin pigments into brownish hues.

Water activity (aw) is held below 0.58 with a final moisture of 10-12%. The intrinsic high citric acidity combined with this low aw provides a stable shelf barrier preventing fungal and bacterial proliferation.

Yes; slices undergo manual optical inspection for size uniformity and vibrant marbleization. Their clean, burn-free presentation makes them a prime choice for transparent gourmet jars and export gifting sets.
