About Dash

Dash a registered B Corporation that creates fruit infused drinks that utilise wonky fruits and vegetables.

The company was founded back in 2017 by Jack and Alex who were witnessing the cause and effect of wood waste, the pair felt compelled to act and that's how Dash was born.

Dash's mission to tackle food waste has two main goals:

To raise awareness for wonky fruits and vegetables and hope that consumers will demand for wonky fruits to be the 'norm'
To lead the way by ensuring that the fruits and vegetables they use are those that would have been rejected by supermarkets

Dash were amazed to find out that around 40% of fruits and vegetable grown here in the United Kingdom are tossed away fore being categorised as 'misfits'. That's why the company have made it their mission to fight food waste.

My Experience

I actually ordered my Dash drinks from Amazon with worked out at a slightly better price than going directly.

One of my favourite flavours has always been peach so I had to go with that option once I saw it. Oddly enough I have never been a fan of sparkling water, to me it tastes like television static but these are not aggressively fizzy and are super refreshing!

The flavour is quite subtle but delicious so I was not disappointed, I can definitely can see myself reaching for more of these. I'm also really keen to see how these will work in cocktails!
