Sustainably Sourced and Processed
Vita-Pakt Short Shredded Orange Peel is manufactured from fresh navel oranges produced in the rich agricultural environment of the San Joaquin Valley. This sun-drenched region features an ideal Mediterranean climate, providing optimal growing conditions for some of the best oranges in the world. Our oranges are full of vibrant flavor, rich nutritional properties, and natural aromatics. 
Vita-Pakt partners with multigenerational farmers committed to producing premium citrus products using sustainable growing practices. Our orange trees are irrigated by the natural, deep, clean well water of our aquifer as well as the snow run-off from the Sierra Nevada mountain range. Our dedication to sustainability doesn’t stop there. All the oranges we process are also rescued from conventional food waste streams. We upcycle imperfect fruit products into useful ingredients, such as our Short Shredded Orange Peel, helping us maximize resources and reduce our overall environmental impact.
Vita-Pakt 14SS: A High-Quality Vita-Pakt Ingredient
At Vita-Pakt, we are also committed to minimally processing our ingredients to retain their natural organoleptic properties. The orange peel is shredded and sliced to exact specifications, pasteurized, and then chilled before being frozen. This ensures optimal freshness, flavor, and nutritional value for your portion-pack marmalades.
Vita-Pakt Short Shredded Orange Peel does not contain any artificial flavors, colors, or preservatives. This citrus ingredient features various macro and micronutrients to support a healthy lifestyle. Our peel is rich in dietary fiber, which is critical for digestive (gut) health and overall wellness. It also contains vitamin C, an essential antioxidant that builds immunity and promotes faster wound recovery.
