Apple Fruit Squeeze Pouch
What it is
This is a convenient pouch filled with pureed apples. It is made from whole apples that have been washed, cored, and then processed into a smooth consistency. The apples used are typically a blend of varieties to achieve a balanced flavor. The pouch is sealed to maintain freshness and is designed for easy consumption on the go.

Open the pouch and squeeze the contents directly into your mouth for an immediate snack. You can also add it to other foods to enhance their flavor and texture.
