Our Solution

Many fruits and vegetables are unable to be sold by farms, grocery stores, and/or farmers markets because they do not look “pretty” even though it is still perfectly tasty. Another problem is accessibility to healthy food the main barriers are affordability and transportation. We combined the two problems and created fruit leather out of overlooked fruits and vegetables. Our fruit leather is not only delicious has a lot of nutritional benefits such as vitamin c, potassium, magnesium, and more. A difficulty with having fresh fruit is that it rots very quick because our fruit leather is dehydrated it will stay delicious for a long time. In addition to this, our fruit/vegetable leather bar will also be very affordable as we are getting the produce for free from markets that have fruit that is not "sell-able". We are very aware that healthy and nutritious food can be quite expensive, which is another reason why we wanted to make these organic bars. They will be delivered to people who are housed but still struggle with being able to afford healthy food, in help with the organization, Grass Roots Neighbors.

This graph shows out of 1 being the worst and 10 being the best, that 20% of the people gave the taste of our fruit leather a 6/10 and 80% of our clients voted that it was 7/10 or more. As you can see on our second graph which shows if this leather was beneficial or not, 20% of our clients said it was a 5/10 or below and 80% of people said it was a 6/10 or above. Lastly, graph number three represents if these people would be willing to eat our fruit leather again, 80% of the people voted that they would eat it again and 20% of people said that they would not eat it again.
