Vendor Spotlight: Seawind Foods

Truly Natural Dried Fruits & Premium Vegetables

Seawind Foods’ unique ability to provide truly natural True NO SO2™ (no sulfur dioxide) dehydrated fruits and conventional or organic premium vegetables evolved over 50 years.

While Seawind is now recognized as one of the leaders in dried fruits and vegetables, it began in 1963 under the name of the Cade Grayson Company. The company prospered and grew into one of the largest US importers and suppliers of dehydrated vegetable ingredients. In 1987, realizing the growing importance of tropical fruits and specialty foods, Seawind International was established as a separate company to better focus on expanding these core products. As demand grew for tropical fruits and vegetables, the company name was updated in 2013 to Seawind Foods to more accurately represent the organization’s core business.

True NO SO2™ low-sweet fruit is Seawind’s premium product. They are evangelistic in their desire to educate the market on the fundamental advantages of their true, all-natural dried fruits. These fruits are low sweetened with cane sugar and never contain unnatural sulfites for preservation.
