Sunshine Delights Dried Mango, Dippies and Fruit Fusion: Now in Germany at Jerky Store Europe

This article was created with AI assistance, in line with EU transparency requirements.

If you have walked through a supermarket in Norway, Sweden, Denmark or Finland in the last couple of years, you have seen the yellow bags. Sunshine Delights turned dried mango from a dusty health-food afterthought into one of the best-selling snacks in the Nordics, and the brand has barely been available in Germany until now. Jerky Store Europe is one of the first online shops to stock the full Sunshine Delights range here: soft dried mango, peach, pineapple and dates, the Dippies half-dipped in dark chocolate, and the five Fruit Fusion mango flavours. This guide explains what the brand is, what makes the fruit different, and which bag to try first.

What is Sunshine Delights?

Sunshine Delights is the dried fruit brand of Dellia, a food company from Oslo. The story starts in 2019 with three founders experimenting with dried mango in a kitchen next to their day jobs. The idea was simple: most dried fruit on the shelf was thin, hard and sugary, so why not dry fully ripe fruit gently and cut it thick, so it still eats like fruit? The first product, Sunshine Delights Dried Mango, became a bestseller in Norway within a couple of years and then rolled out across the Nordics. Today the products sit in more than 13,000 stores across a dozen countries, and the company is listed on the Oslo stock exchange.

The detail that matters for your snack drawer is sourcing. Instead of buying from whichever supplier is cheapest that month, Dellia built a long-term relationship with a single dried-mango producer in Cambodia and has since taken it over completely, so the same farms and the same drying process stand behind every bag. The company even makes a point of putting one extra-large slice in every bag of plain mango. It is a small thing, but it tells you how seriously they take the fruit.

Why the fruit tastes different

Three things set Sunshine Delights apart from the dried fruit you find in the baking aisle.

Ripe fruit first. The mango, peach and pineapple are picked at full ripeness, not green for transport. That is where the natural sweetness and the deep golden colour come from.

Thick cut, gently dried. The pieces are cut large and dried slowly so they stay soft and juicy instead of leathery. A strip of Sunshine Delights mango bends; it does not snap.

Mostly fruit. Even the flavoured Fruit Fusion bags are 93 to 95 percent mango, with a little sugar, fruit powder and natural flavouring on top. The plain dates are one ingredient and nothing else. The whole fruit range is low in fat and a source of fibre, and every product is plant based.

Everything comes in a resealable 100 g bag that fits a jacket pocket. Open it, take a few pieces, close it, and finish it within a month.

The Sunshine Delights range at Jerky Store Europe

All twelve products are available individually or by the case in our Sunshine Delights collection. They fall into three lines.

Dried fruit: mango, peach, pineapple and dates

Sunshine Delights Mango is the one that started it all and still the brand's bestseller: honeyed, a little tangy, with a soft chew that lasts. Sunshine Delights Peach is the surprise of the range, because good dried peach is rare and this one tastes like a peach in July. Sunshine Delights Pineapple is the sharp one, with real acidity for people who find most dried fruit too sweet. Sunshine Delights Dates are soft pitted dates with caramel depth and the shortest ingredient list in the shop.

Dippies: dried fruit half-dipped in dark chocolate

Dippies take the same soft fruit and dip one end in 60 percent dark chocolate made with Peruvian cocoa and no dairy. Half-dipped is the point: you taste chocolate and fruit in every bite, and neither takes over. Dippies Dark Chocolate Mango is the top seller and the obvious start. Dippies Dark Chocolate Pineapple is sweet, sour and bitter at once and the most interesting of the three. Dippies Dark Chocolate Dates and Cashew hides a whole cashew inside each date and is the closest a fruit snack gets to a praline. Keep them at room temperature and out of the sun so the chocolate keeps its snap.

Fruit Fusion: dried mango with a twist

Fruit Fusion is Sunshine Delights mango tumbled with a second fruit or flavour. There are five, and they cover a lot of ground. Sweet Strawberry Mango is the gentle, family-friendly one. Passion Fruit Mango is bright and tropical. Coconut Pineapple Mango is the piña colada of the line. Raspberry Liquorice Mango is a Nordic original built for the Scandinavian sweet tooth. And Zesty Chili Mango, with lemon, sea salt and a pinch of chili, is the one that belongs next to a bag of beef jerky.

Sweet next to salty: why a jerky shop sells dried mango

We sell meat snacks. So why Sunshine Delights? Because the people who buy jerky and biltong from us want the same things from a snack: real ingredients, a bag that survives a rucksack or a jersey pocket, and no fridge. Soft dried mango ticks every box, and it covers the one thing jerky cannot, which is the sweet craving after a salty one. On a long ride or hike, a few pieces of mango or dates give you quick sugar without a gel, and a strip of chili mango between two strips of beef jerky is a very good combination. Sunshine Delights also fits anyone looking for plant-based snacks alongside their order.

Practically, it means one parcel. Add a bag or two of Sunshine Delights to your jerky order and everything ships together from our warehouse in Germany, usually the same working day if you order before noon.

Which Sunshine Delights should you try first?

Never had it: start with the plain Mango. It is the benchmark everything else is measured against.

Chocolate person: Dippies Dark Chocolate Mango, then Pineapple if you like a sour note.

Jerky person: Zesty Chili Mango. Sweet, sour, salty, a little warm.

Kids and lunch boxes: Sweet Strawberry Mango or Peach.

Cyclists and runners: Dates, for dense natural energy that does not melt.

Frequently asked questions

Where can I buy Sunshine Delights in Germany? Right here. Jerky Store Europe stocks all twelve Sunshine Delights products and ships across Germany and the EU from our warehouse in Dresden.

Is Sunshine Delights vegan? Yes. The fruit, the Fruit Fusion flavours and the dates contain no animal ingredients, and the Dippies use dairy-free dark chocolate. Full ingredient lists are on each product page.

Does the fruit contain added sugar? The plain dates contain nothing but dates. The mango-based products contain a small amount of sugar, around 3 to 4 percent, alongside 93 to 95 percent fruit. The sweetness you taste is mostly the ripe fruit itself.

Are there nuts in it? Dippies Dates and Cashew contains whole cashews. The other products are produced in a facility that also handles nuts, so check the allergen line on the pack if that matters to you.

How should I store an opened bag? Reseal it and keep it cool and dry, not above room temperature. The maker recommends finishing it within a month of opening.

Can I order a whole case? Yes. Every product is available as a single 100 g bag or as a case of 14 or 16, which works out cheaper per bag.
