THRIVE Pears are freeze-dried into small, bead-size pieces making it simple to receive a quick serving of antioxidants and vitamins. Pears are nutrient-rich in fiber and vitamin C, so they are smart choice for your daily serving of fruit.
THRIVE Pears rehydrate quickly so they are perfect for using in homemade jams and jelly. You can also toss in a handful of THRIVE freeze-dried pears into any fresh green salad to give it a distinctively sweet taste.
Rehydration Instructions:
To rehydrate, add small amounts of warm water to product for approximately 10 minutes, or until fully hydrated.

What is freeze drying?
THRIVE freeze-dried products are flash frozen, sublimated, and packaged to remove as much water as possible, all without sacrificing quality or nutritional value. These foods last longer and are healthier than foods that are simply dehydrated. Though both processes remove significant amounts of water from perishable food items, the speed of freeze drying locks in existing tastes and nutrients that would be lost during dehydration. Additionally, since freeze drying removes a greater percentage of water than dehydration, the shelf life of freeze-dried food increases by several years.

Storage Conditions
Temperature: Storing THRIVE at a high temperature can significantly increase the speed that calories and vitamins will degrade over time. In the correct storage container, low-moisture foods such as THRIVE can be stored at room temperature or cooler (75 degrees Fahrenheit or lower) and remain nutritious and edible for years. Our stated shelf life assumes that the product will be stored in optimal conditions.
Humidity: The effects of humidity on a closed can are caused by heat and very similar to the effects of high temperature (see above). High humidity can corrode the cans and in some cases even cause the cans to leak. Areas with high humidity can reduce the opened shelf life of the product. As humidity varies with location please use your own discretion to prevent possible sickness from eating spoiled food.
Damaged Container: Minor dents in the center of the can are usually just a cosmetic issue. However, a can that has been dented near or on a seam can have a compromised air-tight seal and allow oxygen to enter the can. If this is the case we recommend using the dented can within the specified opened shelf life, rather than closed.
The best way to maintain the highest quality of your THRIVE products is to take care of them. If you intend on storing your food for the sealed shelf life, store the cans in a place that is not open to elements such as water, light, and air. Take care of it. Don't expose it unnecessarily to the elements. Also, be sure to keep the temperature and humidity low and even. Under these proper storing situations your THRIVE will maintain its delicious taste, natural coloring, and proper nutrients.

Full of flavor
I was excited to try the freeze dried pears because I like the flavor of pears but don't like to eat the actual fruit. They are soft and sweet. I added a handful to my bowl of Cheerios for breakfast and it was fantastic!

Suprisingly Awesome!
We received our first shipment of our Q & I'd totally forgotten we'd had pears even on the list! Much to my surprise the pantry can is almost gone- they are delicious! It's become a favorite family snack to mix the pear dices with some of the freeze dried raspberries & strawberries & add a few pineapple chunks in a bowl for the perfect afternoon snack. The are crisp & full of flavor, highly recommended!

Delicous!
The pears are soft, sweet and make a delightful snack. I have a pantry can opened and have almost devoured the whole thing. While the diced bite size pieces might be a down side for some, I love it. The size is perfect for snacking and great to share with babies. This product is soft enough that it can be easily gummed by babies. I wish I had something like this when my son was that age. Delicious!

Really great and chewy
I really enjoyed the pears. They were great to snack on, almost the way popcorn is when you just keep eating it without thinking about it. I'd recommend these wholeheartedly.
