Bella Viva Dried Persimmons, 1.5 lb – California Upcycled, No Sugar Added, No Sulfites, Soft & Chewy

Discover Bella Viva Dried Persimmons

From California's sunlit Central Valley, Bella Viva Dried Persimmons invite a moment of natural sweetness. These slices come from single-ingredient fruit that’s upcycled from cosmetically imperfect harvests, then air-dried the same day as harvest. You’ll taste a signature sweet-spiced note and see vibrant color in every bite, whether you snack solo or add them to your favorite dishes.

Produced by a multi-decade family program, we dry at low heat to lock in color and flavor while preserving natural nutrients. The result is a tender, not leathery bite with a pleasing chew that works as a snack or a versatile ingredient in your pantry. The product supports sustainable fruit use and pantry simplicity, without artificial additives.

What makes them stand out

• One-ingredient, pure California persimmons with no sugar added.
• No sulfites, gluten-free, and non-GMO.
• Upcycled from cosmetically imperfect fruit, so less waste and more flavor.
• Natural sun-kissed spots and color are signs of premium air-drying, not artificial coloring.
• Resealable 1.5 lb bag, USA-made from California-grown fruit for easy storage.

Ways to enjoy

• Stir into yogurt or oats for a cozy, fruit-forward breakfast.
• Dress up a cheese board or charcuterie platter with color and texture.
• Add to desserts, breads, or trail mixes for a fruity accent.

Note: The dark flecks you may notice are a natural part of the air-drying process and reflect the persimmon’s natural character.

Origin, sustainability, and flavor profile

California-grown persimmons are hand-harvested by families who have perfected this craft. The upcycling approach rescues fruit that might otherwise go to waste, transforming it into a snack that respects the land and farmers. The low-heat drying preserves natural sugars and the persimmon’s warm, gently spiced flavor with a soft, chewy texture. These dried slices pair well with a wide range of foods and beverages, from creamy yogurt to sparkling cocktails, offering a flexible ingredient that enhances everyday snacking without added sugars or preservatives.
