Fruit leather is a chewy, pliable snack made by dehydrating pureed fruit. It offers a concentrated sweet and sometimes tart flavor, depending on the fruit used. Its texture is smooth and slightly sticky, resembling a thin sheet of dried fruit. The appearance varies based on the fruit, ranging from vibrant red with strawberries to deep purple with plums. Often marketed as a healthy alternative to candy, fruit leather provides a convenient and portable source of natural sugars and fiber making it a popular snack for both kids and adults.

Fruit leather should be stored in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight. An airtight container or resealable bag is ideal to prevent it from drying out or becoming sticky. Properly stored, fruit leather can last for several weeks at room temperature. For longer storage, it can also be refrigerated to maintain its texture and freshness for a few months.
