Question 1

What is HUKI?

Accepted Answer

"हुकी" in the Rajasthani language means anything dried. HUKI is essentially a slow air-dried fruit/veg slice. The air-drying process boosts its shelf life, concentrates the flavours and also imparts a peculiar texture to it. Our ancestors have been sun-drying produce for centuries, HUKI is new age air-drying.

Question 2

Does the air-drying process use any preservatives or chemicals?

Accepted Answer

If you happen to look on the back of our packs, you would see the ingredient list which says just- Fruit & herbs. We use no chemical preservatives or additives in our process. We beleive that our bodies are places of worship and only pure things should enter it.

Question 3

What is the shelf-life of HUKI?

Accepted Answer

HUKI is good to be eaten for more than 6 months from its manufacturing date. However, we mention 3 months on the back of our pack because we want you to come back to us often!

Question 4

I left a packet of HUKI out in the open, now the texture is a bit chewy, can I still eat it?"

Accepted Answer

HUKI fruits contain a lot of natural fruit sugar inherent to the fruit itself. This sugar loves clinging onto the moisture in our ambient air and hence your HUKI would go chewy after sometime. It is absolutely safe to eat it even then. If you don't like the texture, just pop it into an oven at 80C for a few minutes and you'd have that supreme crisp texture again!

Question 5

Are the nutrients of the fresh fruit and vegetables still intact in HUKI?

Accepted Answer

Yes, absolutely. HUKI is made with a slow process which doesn't 'cook' the food at a high temperature to denature its nutrients. Vitamins & other micronutrients are stable at any temperature below 85C, and we don't go anywhere close to that temperature with our process.

Question 6

I could just use fresh fruit, why should I buy HUKI?"

Accepted Answer

There are days when you crave a watermelon but don't have people to share the whole melon with you. There are days when you want to have that cocktail with an orange wheel on the top but chopping a whole orange for just a slice is not really a great idea.  There are days when you don't have too much time to prep fresh fruit for that smoothie. There are times when you crave a snack that doesn't make you feel guilty on the go.  These are the times HUKI comes to your rescue. HUKI is shelf stable for months together, are healthy & tasty to snack on or even blend into a smoothie & are a great garnish to cakes and cocktails.  There are more reasons to get addicted to HUKI, these are just a few!

Question 7

Where is all the fruit to make HUKI sourced from?

Accepted Answer

We source fruits and vegetables from local wholesalers and farmers. We beleive in sourcing locally to keep the carbon footprint as lean as possible. There are times when we rescue fruit that would rather go to waste from vendors to make HUKI.
