What We Do
Tru Fru starts with 100% fruit ripened on the vine to enhance taste and nutrition, double immerses it in chocolate, coconut or peanut butter. And Hyper-Chills or Hyper-Dries it to perfection in our proprietary process to lock in nature’s vine ripened, freshly double immersed better-for-you fruit to create an award winning indulgence by Mother Nature. We are changing the way America snacks one satisfied craving at a time.
