We grow the vegetables from which our delicious pumpkin snack comes organically on the island of La Palma (Canary Islands), better known as La Isla Bonita, a wonderful and excellent place for our crops.

Our company, VidaViva Ecofood, owns a large agricultural land located in the town of Tijarafe. The altitude of the fields ranges between 270 and 800 meters above sea level and they are located in areas with the best conditions for growing organic products.

A volcano erupted on the island of La Palma, which caused a lot of damage, but not everything is bad, because the ashes from the volcano were very good for all the crops on the island, especially ours. The ashes are loaded with nutrients that are very good for the crops and this, together with the clean air, the unmatched mountain water and the prolonged sunlight, help to improve our production and thus the quality of our raw materials.

The vegetables for the pumpkin snack are hand-picked and then subjected to a dehydration process, which allows the vegetables to retain almost all of their nutritional value, flavor and color. At the end of this process is when we obtain our pumpkin snack, very tasty and nutritious.

Properties of pumpkin snack:
VidaViva Ecofood dehydrated products, such as pumpkin snacks, are very nutritious, since 50 g of our snacks are equivalent to 500 g of fresh preparation. This is because we have a very good dehydration process and this prevents the food from losing its nutrients and other properties.

Dehydrated vegetables retain their nutritional values ​​in almost the same percentages as fresh vegetables, especially in the case of minerals and some vitamins. It is said that dehydration is one of the oldest methods of food preservation and this may be the case for these reasons.
