As experts in the production of freeze-dried fruit powders, we at Paradise Fruits offer a comprehensive range of options. Our powders are made from various fruits and even vegetables. To obtain fruit powder, the freshly harvested fruits are freeze-dried and then pulverized. Fruit powder can be made in a multitude of different varieties by mixing and matching fruits and vegetables with each other. The powder is also very versatile in its use.

Particularly popular for use in baked goods, in chocolate, or in beverages are the varieties blueberry, cranberry, strawberry, and raspberry. These berries have an irresistible sweetness, but also give the products the right balance with their acidity. Those who place special value on a beautiful appearance and want to create intense colors would be happier using dark fruits. For this purpose, blueberries or black currants are best suited.

How is fruit powder made?

To make fruit powder, fresh fruits are freeze-dried. In this process, water is removed from the frozen fruits or vegetables under vacuum. This process ensures that most of the nutrients and the structure of the molecules are preserved. The fruits and vegetables then become crunchy and significantly lighter, as the water content is missing. These freeze-dried fruits and vegetables are also excellent for use in the food industry and are part of our Freeze Dried product range. To obtain fruit powder, the fruits can then be pulverized. The result are colorful, fine, fruity powders that are even better suited for further processing.

What is special about this production of fruit powder is that taste is not lost through the freeze-drying process. In addition, most of the nutrients in the fruits and vegetables are preserved, so they are just as healthy as fresh fruits or vegetables.

Advantages of Fruit Powder

	1. Long Shelf Life Our fruit and vegetable powder has an extremely long shelf life – a significant advantage in many respects. The powder is therefore a great way to use fruits even when they are not in season. And it’s not only perfect fruits that are used, but also those that can no longer be sold. You are thus not only doing yourself a favor but also helping the environment as this reduces food waste.
	2. Valuable Nutrients Nowadays, many people find it difficult to incorporate enough fruits and vegetables into their daily diet. For them, fruit powder can be an optimal supplement. Freeze-dried fruits, for example, contain about ten times as much energy as fresh fruits. By pulverizing, consumers ingest more fruit than they would with whole fruits, so they fully benefit from the important nutrients in them
	3. Diverse Applications The applications for fruit powder are almost endless. Color and flavor remain unchanged in freeze-drying and pulverization, but the volume is greatly reduced, making the powder easy to transport and to use. Due to its versatility, there is something for every taste

Application Possibilities

There are numerous different ways to use fruit powder. Not only in terms of taste, but also visually – fruit powder is a highlight in every respect. Fruit powder can be used in various ways in baked goods. Both in sweet varieties – like muffins, cake fillings, creams, and glazes – and in bread or dough, the fruit powders are an absolute eye-catcher.

Fruit powders can also be perfectly used as decoration or additional flavoring in chocolate, protein and muesli bars, or even in ice cream. Another possibility is adding fruit powders to beverages. Especially in this area, they impress with their taste and color.
