The benifita of Powdered freeze- Dried fruit
While freeze-dried fruit powder is already in use around the world, many brands haven’t heard of it. Take a look at its benefits:
• Flavor. Freeze-dried fruit powder is a natural flavor enhancer. It adds color and texture while amplifying the flavor profile of your product. It’s a great way to add natural sweetness and fruity flavor without dumping cane sugar or corn syrup into your product.
• Nutrition. Using freeze-dried fruit powder reduces the amount of processed and artificial additives needed in a product, while adding antioxidants, vitamins, and minerals. This natural ingredient is non-GMO, vegan, and gluten-free. After all, it’s just produce and nothing else. Meanwhile, most concentrates have a long list of ingredients that aren’t natural nor healthy.
• Shelf life. As with all freeze-dried food, fruit powder has a very long shelf life. This makes it an easy and convenient ingredient to use, since you can buy in bulk without worrying about spoilage. Normally, products with a long shelf life have more preservatives, but that’s not the case when it comes to freeze-drying. Using freeze-dried ingredients can save you from adding sulfites and other chemicals later in the process.
