Abstract:

Described are food compositions that include a fruit paste, a dried fruit, and a nut butter. The food compositions have a lower water activity (less than 0.6) than similar fruit paste-based food compositions that do not include a dried fruit, while retaining a desired texture and moisture perception. Also described are methods of making the described food compositions, and food products including the described food compositions.
