The Greek company Mokias has been known for nuts and dried fruits since 1988. Now you can find their candied fruits in Super Vero markets. Ingredients are carefully selected, processed in the most modern way and packaged responsibly, and their quality and freshness are guaranteed.
Candied fruit is obtained by dipping and cooking pieces of fruit in sugar syrup. Most fruit moisture is replaced by a concentrated sugar solution, which allows it to last longer. This processed fruit is ideal as an addition to desserts, and you can also eat it on its own. Whole fruits can be candied (such as cherries and apricots), as well as fruit peel (citrus fruits, watermelon, melon). When it comes to peels, they must first be immersed in a strong salt or lime solution to allow sufficient absorption of sugar.
Pineapple, kiwi, melon, mango and papaya are imported from Thailand. It is known that Thailand is the “land of pineapples”, i.e. it is one of the largest producers and exporters of this fruit in the world. High quality pineapples grow all year round on their sandy beaches. Kiwi from Thailand is also widely known for its freshness. The gorgeous flavours and sweetness of melons, mangoes and papayas do not lag as well.
Mokias procures dried apricots from Turkey, which is the center of world production of this fruit. Apricots from Turkey are the best for further processing because their juiciness and sweetness contribute to the quality of the final product.
France is known for prunes among other products. They are on a pedestal in that country, side by side with wines and cheeses, and excellent connoisseurs appreciate them very much, which is also the case with the Mokias company.
Dried dates in our markets originate from Tunisia, which is the largest producer of dates in the world. ‘Fingers of light’, as dates are still called, are best from plantations on the very edge of the Sahara.
Candied cranberries come from the United States and are rich in vitamin C, flavonoids and polyphenolic compounds that have a positive effect on health.
Dried figs arrive from Greece, full of warm sun that they soaked up all summer. They are so delicious that all of them can be called royal.
