Lucerne is a freeze-dried food brand and a subsidiary of TY International, a Turkish company focused on sustainable productivity in agriculture. Based in Mersin, Turkey, Lucerne produces value-added products by freeze-drying freshly harvested fruit and aims to make convenient, healthy snacks accessible to consumers worldwide. Its range includes freeze-dried strawberries, mango, raspberries, pineapple, figs, blackberries, oranges, bananas, apples, lemons and dragon fruit, as well as detox vegetable soup.

Lucerne explains lyophilization, the freeze-drying process and its equipment, highlighting how the method helps preserve foods’ appearance, color, texture, taste and aroma while retaining much of their nutritional value. The products can be enjoyed as crisp snacks or used in recipes such as cakes, tarts and cookies. The company also serves food-industry applications, healthy-living and nutrition needs, children’s snacks, and pet food, with options suited to dietary preferences including vegan and gluten-free eating. Lucerne provides product information, production resources and customer contact channels, including a WhatsApp order line, and lists a UK office alongside its Turkish head office.
