Sweet apple,
soft and in chunks.
The short answer: Born's dried apple is semi-dried apple in chunks or slices: lightly crisp outside and softly sweet inside, with no added sugars. The ingredients list reads apple and the preservative SO2 (sulphites). It comes in a 250 g resealable bag and keeps for up to 12 months without a fridge.
Three ways to keep it handy.
A light crispness outside, soft sweetness inside.
What it is. Apple cut into chunks or slices with part of its water removed. It stays soft, with a light crispness, and it does not brown in the fruit bowl or go dark in your bag.
Why it is sweet. The sweetness is the apple's own, concentrated as the water goes. There are no added sugars, only the ones the fruit has naturally.
Ingredients: apple and the preservative SO2 (sulphites). No added sugars; contains naturally occurring sugars.

Worked out from the per 100 g values on the pack. How much to eat on a long outing, and when, depends on each person: the numbers are there so you can decide.
At snack time, in pieces.
For little ones, cut it into small pieces and make sure they eat sitting down and with an adult. More ideas in the school snack guide.

What people usually ask.
Is it a sweet, soft apple?+
Yes: lightly crisp outside and softly sweet inside. The sweetness is the fruit's own: 66.1 g of sugars per 100 g, none of them added.
Does it contain preservatives?+
Yes: the preservative SO2 (sulphites), declared in the ingredients list next to the apple. It has no added sugars.
What are the benefits of dried apple?+
Born gives you the figures from the pack: 9.5 g of fibre, 0.2 g of fat and 66.1 g of sugars per 100 g. We promise no effects on the body; the claims that can be made are under "What can be said".
Slices or chunks? Is it sold in bulk?+
It is the same apple. Chunks are better for snacking and lunchboxes; slices, for a bowl or serving. What Born calls bulk is the 250 g resealable bag.
Does it need a fridge?+
No. Keep it somewhere cool and dry. Unopened, it lasts up to 12 months.
When will it arrive?+
In 48 to 72 working hours. Delivery is free on orders over €45.
It concentrates the fruit's sugar: better as a portion than by the handful.
Contains the preservative SO2 (sulphites): anyone sensitive to sulphites should bear that in mind. May contain traces of nuts and peanuts.
Close the bag well and keep it in the same cool, dry place.
