Malatya apricots. Smyrna figs. Anatolian mulberries. Each fruit from the one region that grows it best, dried in the sun and softened so it eats like fruit — tender, bright, honest.
soft, not leathery
Most dried fruit in America is an anonymous ingredient. We think it deserves a name, a region and a pouch worth reaching for.
Apricots, figs and prunes are softened after drying, so the fruit eats like fruit: tender, moist and easy to snack on straight from the pouch.
Malatya on the apricot pack, the Aegean on the fig pack. Every fruit comes from the region that grows it best, and the pack says so.
Five of our seven fruits list exactly one ingredient. Where something is added — sulfur on the classic apricots, sugar on the tart cherries — we say it in plain words, on the front.
Calm, curious and awake at night: our owl sits on every pack and fronts the QURME Club, our sign-up program for the people who find us first.
Whole apricots laid out on drying cloths under the Malatya sun, the way it has been done for generations. Mulberries shaken from village trees in Anatolia. No tunnels, no shortcuts. Just fruit, sun and time.

Soft dried, ready to eatResealable stand-up pouches, 5 oz for the soft fruit, 4 oz for the berries. Nothing in the bag that isn't on the front of it.
The apricot the world knows Turkey for. Sun-dried in Malatya, then softened so it eats like fresh fruit with the sweetness turned up. Good source of potassium.
The same Malatya apricot, dried the old way without sulfur. Darker, deeper, with a honeyed, almost caramel note. One ingredient.
Smyrna figs from the Aegean hills around Aydin, where most of the world's dried figs are grown. Soft skin, jammy center, crunchy seeds. Good source of fiber.
Plump, pitted and softened so they stay moist to the last one in the bag. Deep, dark and gently sweet. Good source of fiber, high in vitamin K.
Pale, chewy and naturally sweet, with notes of honey and fig. A village snack in Anatolia for centuries, finally in a pouch. Fiber, potassium, plant protein.
The rarer, darker cousin: tart-sweet, intensely fruity, with the deep color of a berry that was never bred for shelf life. The Anatolian heritage berry.
Real sour cherries, pitted and sweetened just enough to balance the bite. Sharp, bright and very red. The one fruit in the range where we add sugar — and we say so.
Our fruit with Turkish nuts and seeds, in single-serve pillow packs from a 10-count display box. Named for the moment, not the marketing.
Nuts roasted or raw as named on pack. Contains tree nuts. GLOW and RECOVER include our sweetened tart cherries. Recipes as sampled in October 2026; final nutrition panels follow the first production run.
