Swassti Dehydrated Chikoo Slice

Dehydrated chikoo slices are thin, crisp pieces made from fresh chikoo (sapodilla) fruit that have been processed to remove most of their moisture content while retaining their natural sweetness and rich flavor. The chikoo fruit is washed, peeled, sliced, and then dehydrated through a gentle drying process. This results in a lightweight, shelf-stable product that can be easily rehydrated or consumed as a snack.
