Dried Fruit Wholesale
As a leading dried fruit supplier in the UK and Europe, we provide bakeries, manufacturers, food service and wholesalers with a range of high-quality ingredients.
Our customers use various fruits in baking and as a natural sweetener in porridge, smoothies and snack bars.
Sundried and Naturally Dried Fruit
During production, our dried fruits go through a rigorous cleaning programme, creating ready-to-use products.
For drying, the fruit is laid out in the sun for 7 days, being turned over every other day before being transferred to the factory. This is where stones, cap stems and any foreign matter are removed.
Natural Sun-drying caramelises the sugar in the fruit and enriches the flavour, it is also more environmentally friendly than oven drying, therefore, always the preferred choice of our buyers.

The Big Questions
Are dried fruits good for you?
When dried, fruits retain the majority of the nutritional value of fresh fruits. High in fibre and containing large amount of antioxidants they definitely have their health benefits.
They are however very high in sugar and calories, so shouldn’t be eaten in excess. They are the perfect treat to each with other nutritious foods.
Can dried fruits be frozen?
We do not recommend freezing our dried fruit, however we have recently launched a new range of freeze-dried fruits which are available on our website here.
Raisins vs Sultanas
The difference between raisins and sultanas are that they are made from different types of grape.
Raisins are a range of naturally dried grape varieties and are usually the biggest out of the two.
Seedless green grapes are dried to create sultanas. Sometimes they will be dipped in a solution to help the drying process, speeding it up.
Can dried fruits go out of date?
Like everything, they have a use by date. They can be stored for 6 – 12 months, depending on their storage conditions. If tightly sealed at roof temperature, they will have a better storage life.
Sustainability Strategy
One of our main suppliers is committed to achieving Net-Zero emissions by 2040 and has strict targets over the years to ensure they are on track.
