What started as a weekend experiment with a dehydrator and a crate of Costa Rican pineapples became Smunchie — a small team obsessed with turning real fruit into something you'll actually crave.
See The Process
It began with my grandmother's pineapple patch — more fruit every harvest than our family could ever eat fresh. Rather than watch it go to waste, we started slicing and slow-drying the extra, just to see what would happen.
The first batch disappeared before it even cooled. Neighbors started asking for bags of their own, then friends of friends, and pretty soon "just for us" turned into something we couldn't keep up with from one kitchen.
Smunchie is still that same recipe — real fruit, patiently dried, nothing added — just made for a lot more people than we ever expected.
No purees, no concentrates, no fillers — just whole pineapples, sliced and dried.
Slow-dried at low heat so every chip stays naturally sweet and crisp, never oily.
We buy straight from small Costa Rican growers, at a fair price, every harvest.
