The result are the fruit pulps from Brasfrut – fruit with no addition of sugar, colourings or preservatives, maintaining all properties of the fruit, with the taste, aroma and colour of the Brazilian fruits.
It is advised the consumption of fresh, ripe fruit and recently harvested. However, when the food comes from places very distant from the point of sale, the ideal is to proceed to their freezing.
