At Bar Necessities, we know that the best cocktails — and the best memories — start with what you put in the glass. That’s why we take our sourcing and food handling just as seriously as the flavor and look of our garnishes.

Every slice of dried mango, pineapple ring, pomelo strip, or edible flower has already gone through a journey before it reaches your bar cart or event. Here’s how we keep that journey safe, clean, and traceable.

Partnering with Trusted Farms 🌱

We start at the source. Our fruits come from partner farms across Thailand and other tropical regions, all of which follow Good Agricultural Practices (GAP). That means careful records of fertilizers and pest control, ethical harvest methods, and a commitment to clean growing. By working directly with farmers, we not only support local agriculture but also know exactly where every batch begins.

Clean from the Start 🧼

Once fruit arrives at our partner facilities, it’s treated with the same care you’d give it at home — just on a larger, carefully monitored scale. Every batch is:

• Inspected on arrival for quality and condition.

• Washed in potable water through multiple stages to remove dust, debris, and microbes.

• Sanitized with food-safe rinses, monitored for proper concentration and safety.

This ensures that only clean, safe fruit moves forward into the next steps.

Preparation with Precision 🔪

In hygienic prep rooms, fruit is peeled, sliced, and trimmed using stainless steel tools and one-way workflow — meaning raw fruit only flows forward and never crosses paths with clean, ready fruit. Workers follow strict hygiene rules, with handwashing, gloves, and sanitizing routines in place.

Some fruits receive a natural dip — like vitamin C or citrus — to help preserve their bright color and freshness. Unlike many mass producers, we don’t rely on sulfur for color retention in our sulfur-free range.

Drying the Natural Way ☀️

The drying stage is where fruit transforms into something magical. By using controlled temperature, airflow, and humidity, our partner facilities dehydrate fruit slowly until it reaches the perfect moisture balance — safe, stable, and full of flavor. No preservatives needed.

Safety Checkpoints at Every Step ✅

Food safety isn’t a single step — it’s a system. Each batch passes through multiple safety checkpoints:

• Visual inspections for defects.

• Metal detection or X-ray to screen for foreign material.

• Lab testing for microbes and moisture where required.

• Full traceability, with batch codes tied back to farms.

This system is part of our HACCP (Hazard Analysis and Critical Control Points) food safety plan, and our partner facilities are certified under GMP, HACCP, BRC, FDA, and Halal standards.

Sealed, Fresh, and Ready for You 🎁

Finally, fruit is packed in food-grade pouches, sealed to protect freshness, and labeled with batch codes for traceability. Products are stored in clean, climate-controlled warehouses, then shipped to you in sealed cartons.

The result? Dried fruit and garnishes you can trust — clean, safe, and full of natural flavor.
