Fruit leather

Sweet and fruity with a chewy, slightly sticky texture, more concentrated in flavor than fresh fruit.

Lens analyzed

Fruit leather is fruit puree spread thin and dried into a flexible, chewy sheet, often rolled up for snacking. It's a concentrated, portable form of fruit, sold in individual rolls or strips.

Where it comes from

Drying fruit puree into a flat, chewy sheet is a preservation technique used across several cultures, and the rolled, individually wrapped snack format became especially popular in North American grocery stores as a kid-friendly lunchbox item.

Buying it

Check the ingredient list for the proportion of real fruit versus added sugar and fillers, since fruit leather brands vary from mostly pureed fruit to more processed, candy-like versions.

Storing it

Store fruit leather in its sealed wrapper in the pantry, where it keeps well for weeks to months depending on the package date.

Keeps about 6 months in the pantry.
