Assorted Fruit Pastilla "Pastilushka", 2kg

What is Pastilushka Õunapastilla assorti?

Pastilushka "PASTILUSHKA" Õunapastilla assorti, 2 kg is a traditional fruit pastille made mainly from apples and gently dried into soft, chewy pieces. People usually choose this kind of sweet when they want something fruity and simple instead of standard confectionery with added sugar, artificial flavourings or preservatives. In this assortment, the taste comes from the fruit itself: as apple puree is slowly dried, its natural sweetness becomes more concentrated and the texture turns dense and tender.

How it is made

What makes apple pastila interesting is not only the flavour, but also the way it is made. Apples naturally contain pectin, a soluble fibre that helps fruit puree set into a pleasant, slightly elastic structure during slow drying. This traditional low-temperature process removes part of the water while keeping the characteristic apple aroma more intact than harsher heat processing. As a result, you get a sweet snack with a short, clear idea behind it: fruit, its own sugars, and a classic preparation method with a long history in Russian and East European home cooking.

When to enjoy it

• Sharing with family
• Offering guests
• Packing into a work bag
• Keeping on hand for a softer fruit‑based alternative to sweets
• Small snack between meals
• Serving with tea
• Simple option for those who enjoy apple‑based fruit sweets without extra sugar added during production
• Suits people who like variety in taste and texture (assortment may include different variants)

Important notes

• Even though this is a fruit‑based product, it is still naturally sweet because the sugars from the apples become more concentrated during drying.
• If you are watching your sugar intake, prefer smaller portions.
• Check the individual piece labelling if you avoid certain fruits or ingredients, as some assortment variants may differ slightly.
