Tresties

Sweet snack balls made from fruit pomace with a creamy nutbutter core. Low in sugar & plastic free.

Tresties are the handy, sweet snack made from fruit pomace with a creamy nutbutter core. The leftovers from juice and jam production are the main ingredient of the vegan, low-carbohydrate balls. These by-products are full of valuable phytochemicals and dietary fibre, and protect the nutbutter-based filling of the Tresties. A health-promoting effect of the pomace made from organically grown fruits has been confirmed in various studies. Prebiotic hydrolysates from pea starch provide a natural, low-calorie sweetness and, together with selected spices, they create a nutritious snack that is not as stressful for the body as common sweets. The recipe is also gluten- and lactose-free. Packaged plastic-free in home-compostable cellulose film, the Tresties have a shelf life of at least 12 months without the need for refrigeration. With the flavours Cinnamon-Apple & Hazelnut, Coconut & Red Berries and Choco & Almond-Caramel, the Tresties fit on the shelf between fruit bars and date based energy balls. A part of the sales will be donated to regional, organic fruit cultivation. In the future, other products such as protein bars, savoury snacks, breakfast alternatives and crackers will be developed based on the Tresties.
