When I was a kid, I\u2019d occasionally get the fig roll from Aurion\u2014the craziest thing about it was probably the price. I remember it as a fruit spread that contained tons of big fig seeds that got stuck in my teeth for days. Then there was the Castus roll with a nut mix, which was the one we got most often, and it often tasted strangely musty\u2014yes, there was something indefinable about it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What many people forget to check before buying fruit rolls, sticks, and bars is whether they contain seed oils such as sunflower oil, canola oil, and shea butter. In any case, they\u2019re in all of Castus\u2019s rolls, sticks, bars, etc., and when a product says \u201cStrawberry\u201d or \u201cBlueberry\u201d on the label, there\u2019s often only 1 gram of those berries in the entire product. It\u2019s primarily extracts and \u201cnatural\u201d flavorings that provide the taste, and \u201cnatural\u201d flavorings rarely have anything to do with what you imagine. A strawberry flavoring might just as well be made from corn as from real strawberries\u2014and as a consumer, you\u2019re not entitled to know that. Most \u201cnatural\u201d flavorings are therefore simply called \u201cnatural\u201d because they\u2019re made from corn\u2014corn that\u2019s been processed and broken down into atoms to create the flavor compounds meant to resemble a strawberry, a blueberry, a vanilla bean, and so on. So yes, it\u2019s not as natural as one might hope\u2014far from it, in fact\u2026 <\/p>\n\n\n\n

However, Aurion currently produces several fruit rolls that do not contain seed oils and cost between 79 kr. and 129 kr. per roll, which is quite a lot of money for a fruit roll. Most rolls contain primarily fig paste (63-90%), and some are made with date paste. You can buy both fig and date paste at Middle Eastern specialty stores and make these rolls yourself for much less. However, it\u2019s also possible to skip the store-bought fruit paste entirely and make a roll using just simple dried fruits\u2014in under 30 minutes\u2014and yes, it tastes much better, too. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Furthermore, water and honey are often used in Aurion\u2019s bread, which must be said to be quite unnecessary, since you can easily make a fruit roll without adding water or additional sweetness. As I see it, there\u2019s plenty of natural sweetness already present in both the dates and the figs. However, it\u2019s important to use the right type of dried fruit, since the rehydrated dried fruit sold in various supermarkets today They simply turn into a mushy, soggy mess\u2014and yes, water does one thing really well when it comes to shelf life: it shortens it. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

I also make this fruit roll with mini figs because their seeds are so small that they break down easily and therefore don\u2019t get stuck in your teeth (which is definitely preferable). I also use Medjool dates because they\u2019re so delicious and naturally moist that no additional liquid is needed in the recipe. Plus, Medjool dates easily turn into a paste without much processing\u2014 I\u2019m talking about a maximum of 30 seconds in a chopper or mini food processor, and then they\u2019re usually just right, whereas regular dates have a tougher skin that doesn\u2019t break down as easily, and their sweetness is also different. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

I like the idea of a homemade chocolate fruit roll like this because it can be used as a fruit topping on a roll, as a sweet snack, or as an energy bar\u2014without a lot of added sugar. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The most important thing about a fruit roll is that you should be able to cut slices without the roll losing its shape. Even very thin slices\u2014and that\u2019s where the time, packaging, and storage of the roll come into play. Otherwise, it\u2019s a piece of cake\u2014there\u2019s nothing easier than making these yourself, so why waste money on a mass-produced product? And yes, the one from Aurion is also mass-produced\u2014just on a smaller scale\u2014but it\u2019s still mass-produced, and there\u2019s really no reason for it. I make this roll with the kids; they enjoy helping out, and they always find it fun when we have to use a chopper or some kind of food processor. They also love having a few slices as a snack while they\u2019re doing their schoolwork. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

It\u2019s a simple recipe with 6 relatively inexpensive ingredients. I\u2019ve calculated that it costs me about 45\u201350 kr. to make this top-quality bread: organic mini figs, organic Medjool dates, organic cocoa, organic chocolate without lecithin, organic vanilla powder, and organic coconut flour. That\u2019s half of what Aurion charges for their chocolate fruit roll, which doesn\u2019t even taste like chocolate. So yeah, judge for yourself!<\/p>\n\n\n
