FAQ
What are fruit purees?
Fruit purees are fruits that have been strained to the consistency of a creamy paste or liquid.
Are Primor Fruit Purees concentrates?
No, they aren’t. Primor Fruit Purees are “single-strength”, which means aside from straining, no dilution or concentration processes are applied. This ensures you get a high quality puree that still maintains the exact flavor profile of the fruit. Boom.
What are the advantages of fruit purees vs fresh fruits?
It’s undeniable fresh fruits are great. Fruit purees, however, offer plenty of advantages:
- No seasonality. Primor Fruit Purees are available all year long.
- Flavor consistency. We are very thorough in our fruit selection process. Primor Fruit Purees taste the same time-and-again, which means your recipes will too.
- Ease of use. We’ve done the cutting, blending, straining and hard work for you. Just pour and voila.
- No waste. When you peel a mango, a large portion of it ends up in the trash. With Primor Fruit Purees, you can use every part of the fruit.
- Perishability. Primor Fruit Purees are guaranteed to last 3 months under refrigeration. Please consume in a few days after opening.
