How We Select & Dehydrate Our Black Plums
With over 20 years in the dry fruits and dried produce trade from Begum Bazar, Hyderabad, Dry Fruit Hub selects ripe black plums at their peak sweetness before dehydration. The natural drying process retains the fruit's dark colour, soft texture, and tangy-sweet flavour while removing moisture to extend shelf life without additives. Batches that are over-dried (turning hard and leathery) or under-dried (prone to spoilage) are filtered out. What goes into your 800g pack is soft, evenly dehydrated, and ready to eat.
