About Us
The story of Merlanta started with falling in love and continued in merging intercultural knowledge of growing all-natural and pure dragon fruits. Out of love for the exotic product and with the help of her family, founder and manager Anta started growing rich-in-flavor dragon fruits in her Mersin gardens as a healthy snack option for her friends and family…
A Closer Look Into...
❄️ Freeze Drying Technology
Freeze-drying or lyophilization is a preservation process resulting in only the fruit moisture being removed from the fruits. All other nutrients are saved to boost your body’s ability to restore energy, vitality, and fight the aging process.
🍎Natural Flavors
By removing the fruit fluids, we reach a higher intensity of the natural taste. Munching on the crunchy chips will feel almost like you’re eating a fresh-picked dragon fruit!
〰️ Our Brand
Can you guess what Merlanta means? It embodies three things (or places) without whom there wouldn’t be any dragon fruit gardens or freeze-dried red and white goods. Mersin, Latvia, and between them – the founder Anta – are the heart and soul of our small business Merlanta.
🌈 A Healthier Option
Dragon fruit is also known as pitaya. They are famous for their riches in vitamins, antioxidants, prebiotics, minerals, and fiber. Regularly consumed dragon fruits can even help you prevent cancer, heart diseases, and diabetes.
😋 Quality Snack
Our dragon fruits are harvested ripe and in season. They are immediately freeze-dried to save all of their nutrients and intense flavor. The beautiful color, odor, and taste can stay the same for several years (if stored properly). But we have a feeling you’ll eat them up much sooner! 🙂
🎒Travel-friendly Packaging
Fresh dragon fruits have a short shelf life. Freeze-dried fruits stay fresh longer (years), making them easy to travel with. Our freeze-dried fruits come packaged in a heat-sealed pouch for enhanced freshness. Hikers gonna love them!
