Dessert

Annona Bites

Rescued fruit reborn as sweet, elegant dairy-free rolls, a seasonal rhapsody.

Annona Bites turns surplus and second-grade fruit into a premium, plant-based dessert built for the modern foodservice channel. Each bite-sized roll pairs a creamy, dairy-free coconut-milk rice with a jelly core, wrapped in a glossy membrane made entirely from upcycled fruit purée. The range unfolds as four seasonal signatures: a pumpkin-wrapped autumn roll with warm coffee jelly, a sour cherry winter roll destined for adults, inspired by vișinată, a blueberry-apple spring roll with apricot-peach jelly, and a raspberry summer roll with banana jelly. Together they let restaurants, cafés, and artisanal retailers rotate a photogenic, on-trend dessert year-round while cutting fruit waste at the source. Packaged in a casserole, Annona Bites arrives ready to plate, extending shelf life without preservatives and minimizing back-of-house prep time, a direct margin advantage for B2B buyers. Every label carries a QR code linking B2B customers straight to a review and reorder portal, letting chefs and buyers rate the product, track batch consistency, and place repeat orders in seconds, turning packaging into a retention tool and giving us a direct feedback loop from the professionals who serve it. Annona Bites is plant based, gluten free, allergen-conscious, and grounded in circular sourcing, positioning it at the intersection of sustainability, convenience, and indulgence that European foodservice buyers are actively seeking.
