Pure Flavor® Extends the Shelf Life of Uno Bites™ Nano Cucumbers — Big Innovation for the Smallest Cucumber
Leamington, ON (October 16, 2025) – Pure Flavor® is redefining convenience in the snacking produce category with an exciting packaging innovation that extends the shelf life of its Uno Bites™ Nano Cucumbers. This breakthrough delivers longer-lasting freshness while maintaining the crisp texture, vibrant color, and refreshing flavor consumers love.
Uno Bites™ Nano Cucumbers have become a favorite among families and snack lovers for their adorable size, satisfying crunch, and easy portability. Perfect for kids’ lunch boxes, snack packs, and on-the-go moments, these bite-sized cucumbers offer a fun and nutritious option that fits today’s busy lifestyles. However, their small size, the very feature that makes them unique, has also presented a challenge: smaller cucumbers tend to lose moisture faster, resulting in a shorter shelf life compared to standard-sized varieties.
Pure Flavor® has tackled this challenge head-on. Through advanced packaging technology, Uno Bites™ Nano Cucumbers now stay fresher 50% longer than before. The new design helps preserve texture and moisture, ensuring every cucumber stays crisp and flavorful from the moment it is packed to when it is enjoyed at home.
“This improvement is more than just an update; it is a true solution to a long-standing challenge,” said Tiffany Sabelli, Sr. Director of Sales, Pure Flavor®. “We know shoppers love the size and crunch of Uno Bites™ but have wanted them to last longer. With this advancement, consumers can enjoy the same great product for up to one week longer, and retailers can reduce shrink while maintaining quality on the shelf.”
Uno Bites™ Nano Cucumbers combine convenience, nutrition, and fun in every pack. Their naturally small size makes portioning simple, encourages healthy habits for kids, and delivers an easy snacking experience for busy families.
“Consumers want produce that keeps its promise of freshness every time they open the fridge,” said Julia Weber, Marketing Director, Pure Flavor®. “Extending the shelf life of Uno Bites™ ensures a consistent, high-quality experience for shoppers while also helping retailers reduce waste and improve profitability. It is a win-win for everyone in the supply chain.”
With this innovation, Pure Flavor® continues to lead the way in reimagining what fresh, convenient produce can be, transforming everyday snacking into something simply good. Uno Bites™ Nano Cucumbers will be showcased at Booth #3091 during the 2025 Global Produce & Floral Show, giving buyers and industry leaders the opportunity to experience firsthand how Pure Flavor® continues to transform fresh produce through innovation.
