Fashioned in the shape of a fine pastry fruit basket, these products comprise a blend of low-fat dough and real fruit juices which can be served as a one-bite dessert for stand up buffets, three on a plate with cream for a sit down pud’ or simply as a sweetmeat on a saucer to accompany a cup of coffee.
There are four varieties in the range – strawberry, banana, fruits of the forest (mix of blueberry, raspberry and blackberry) and orange. Each brings 100% natural fruit taste and colour to the table – all are made using 30% real fruit juice and contain no artificial colours or E numbers.
All varieties can be frozen and will stay crispy after defrosting. ‘They can remain crisp up to 18 hours when stored in a cool place,’ said GM of Pidy UK, Robert Whittle.
Each flavour is packaged in a cash & carry-style box with 96 portions per case. The mixed case also has 96 portions (24 of each flavour).
“Fruity Cups are the second part of a three part launch which Pidy has planned for introduction over a one year period,” added Whittle. “Part One - Veggie Cups - was unveiled at the Birmingham Food & Drink Expo in March this year.”
