While many applesauce snacks are formulated and branded for kids, Sanaia Applesauce sets itself apart with adult-focused applesauce varieties featuring gourmet flavors. The brand uses Granny Smith apples to create its low-calorie, low-sugar snacks, which come in varieties like Tamarind, Ginger, Lavender Pear, Guava and Hibiscus. All of the ingredients in the applesauce blends are plant-based and allergen-free. Sanaia also offers an unsweetened variety that shows off the flavors of the Granny Smith apples that it favors in its recipes.
Sanaia found success by identifying a gap in the market where "millions of applesauce-loving adults... were being completely ignored by the sector" and set out to better serve them with flavors and formulas to suit their taste buds and consumption habits.
