In recent years, the UAE has witnessed a significant shift in consumer preferences toward healthier lifestyles, fueling a growing demand for nutritious snacking options. With the increasing awareness about the impact of diet on overall well-being, more consumers are opting for snacks that are low in sugar, free from artificial additives, and rich in natural ingredients. According to the International Diabetes Federation, 12.3% of the adult population in the UAE had diabetes in 2021. According to the World Obesity Federation, more than 17.8% of the adults in the UAE were obese, and 39.8% were overweight as of 2019. Due to the high prevalence of lifestyle diseases such as diabetes and obesity and their negative health implications, people are shifting toward healthy food that is tasty as well.

As awareness grows around lifestyle-related health issues such as diabetes and obesity, the demand for sugar-free fruit options in the UAE is rapidly increasing. Freeze-dried berries, with their naturally sweet taste and no added sugars, have become popular among individuals managing diabetes or those seeking healthier, sugar-free snacking alternatives.

Freeze-dried berries are also witnessing high demand among consumers seeking natural weight loss or weight management food products. Freeze-dried berries are naturally sweet and do not contain added sugar. A growing number of registered dietitians in Dubai suggest freeze-dried fruits as a healthy addition to balanced snacking habits. A nutrition expert practicing in Dubai Marina shared that individuals aiming to lose weight often find it challenging to manage sugar cravings. In such cases, she recommends freeze-dried options such as strawberries or mangoes, as they help curb those cravings without causing sharp blood sugar fluctuations, making them one of her preferred snack choices.
