Frequent travellers abroad who have come to savour berries often rue their near absence in the Indian market. They have to make do with below par quality dried or dehydrated cranberries, blue berries and prunes. But two young entrepreneurs based out of the tricity, Arjun Anand and Ashish Garg, who had launched the brand Frubert in the tricity a few months ago, on Wednesday announced the addition of two new berries to their existing cart of five premium and scientifically processed high quality, tasty and nutritious dry berries and fruits from Serbia.

Speaking to LifeInChandigarh.com at the launch of the new additions – wild blueberry and aronia – the two youngsters shared that they had been encouraged by the good offline and online response to the existing portfolio of dried raspberries, blackberries, apricots, plums and green apples.

All these are premium products, with the highest quality berries and fruits sourced directly from Serbian producers and dried through an osmotic dehydration process, which is well developed in the European country and does not use harmful preservatives like sulphur dioxide for drying.

The process also ensures that all vital natural nutrients of the berries and fruits are retained, and so are their natural flavours and sweetness. No artificial sugar is added.

Ashish Garg claimed that the dried wild blueberries are three times more nutritious than the blueberries we are exposed to in India. He also maintained that aronias are a natural choice for controlling blood sugar.

Arjun Anand said the exposure to the wealth of quality berries and fruits, as also advanced processing facilities in Serbia came during his internship as an active member of the worldwide students’ organisation AIESEC in that country. But it took years before that exposure opened up a business opportunity, he added.

He felt that taxation on imported fruits was too high. The Indian government must consider a reduction in taxes (which can be as high as 45%), especially on imported fruits like berries which are not grown in the country and are extremely healthy, he emphasised.
