Developing a unique food product - with Daniel Twiss - Soul Fruit
Manage episode 412091622 series 2798978
Today my guest is Daniel Twiss from Soul Fruit, a company revolutionising dried fruit snacks. Soul Fruit makes new and exciting dried fruit snacks using the best quality tropical fruits simply dried into crunchy chips or chewy slices. Their flavours include fruits I have never tried - dragon fruit and jackfruit.
Daniel shares with us the riveting story of how he and his wife took their love for exotic fruits in Asia and transformed it into a successful business, despite having no prior background in food or retail. Their mission? To bring guilt-free, fun, and authentically delicious snacking experiences to the UK market, and maybe your taste buds as well.
We'll dig into the perseverance required to break into retailers and online platforms like Amazon, how embracing sustainable practices and community giving sets their brand apart, and why focusing on single-ingredient, honest products might just be the key to winning over modern consumers. Whether you're already selling products or just starting to shape your ideas, this episode offers tangible insights into the dedication, passion and can-do attitude needed to make your product stand out in a crowded market.

If you've been inspired to start a podcast in 2024 then I recommend my podcast host, Captivate. They were my top pick when I started 4 years ago because of how easy it was for a complete novice to get started. I’ve stuck with them because it’s still simple, they keep adding great new features (like the ability to share ads like these!) and it’s been so reliable.
