A classic tropical fruit, the pineapple is the ideal balance of sourness and sweetness. It pairs well with vanilla, coconut and caramel flavors, as well as a range of fruits, vegetables, cheese and meats, including prosciutto. Sourced from fresh our freeze-dried pineapple blends easily and just a small quantity delivers intense taste and color. Freeze-dried pineapple is perfect for both sweet and savory applications, as it’s a great source of natural sweetness. Its vibrant yellow color makes it the ideal ingredient for a tropical smoothie or a cocktail garnish, and it also works well in dry meal kits, such as sweet and sour sauce.

Rhubarb has a distinctive taste, with aromatic notes. Its tartness means it’s best paired with overtly sweet ingredients, such as strawberry, mango and vanilla. Often mistaken as a fruit, rhubarb is a vegetable that is low in calories and high in fiber. Freeze-drying rhubarb locks in flavor and nutrients, as well as holding its vivid pink color, texture and shape. Freeze-dried rhubarb is suitable for a wide range of applications, especially bakery and confectionary, in sweets such as rhubarb, strawberry and white chocolate truffles. Its powder form can be used in ice cream and beverages, whilst freeze-dried pieces can be included in desserts. It also works well with savory flavors, complementing meat items such as lamb, pork and black pudding.

The sweet, but tart flavor and vibrant yellow color of passion fruit makes it a well-loved ingredient. By freeze-drying, the nutrients, color and taste of the fruit is preserved, making it ideal for a wide variety of applications, including bakery, desserts and beverages. Freeze-dried passion fruit granulate is made from the fruit’s purée and maltodextrin, with no E numbers, additives, preservatives or carriers. This creates a versatile, healthy ingredient with the benefit of a long shelf life. Add freeze-dried passion fruit granules to smoothies, cocktails or sweets, to give strong, vibrant color and flavor, or use to decorate desserts.

Its bright green flesh dotted with black seeds makes the kiwi fruit an excellent visual ingredient. This vibrant color, along with distinctive flavor and texture, is retained during the freeze-drying process. Packed with vitamin C, freeze-dried kiwi is a healthy ingredient with the benefit of a long shelf life. Freeze-dried kiwi is available in pieces, slices or a powder, with or without the seeds. Slices can be used in a variety of applications, especially bakery and drinks, as they make a great dessert decoration and can be blended easily in beverages. Freeze-dried kiwi also works well with savory dishes, especially seafood and shellfish.

The hardest, sharpest member of the citrus family, the lime is incredibly versatile. Its strong, intense flavor and vibrant color is preserved in the freeze-drying process, making it the perfect ingredient for a broad range of applications. The lime’s sourness and bitterness make it the perfect pairing with sweet flavors – the caramel in cola, the condensed milk in key lime pie, or butternut squash. Add freeze-dried lime pieces to savory meal components, such as rice or couscous, to give a citrus flair. Introduce it in confectionary applications, such as dark chocolate inclusions. Or simply add a freeze-dried lime slice to beverages for instant flavor – it rapidly rehydrates when added to liquid.

Figs are an attractive and sweet ingredient, with bright colors of pink and green. This delicious flavor and original color are retained in the freeze-drying process, unlike other drying methods, which darken the fig, making it the perfect decoration. Freeze-dried figs can be used in applications such as chocolate, cakes, cheesecakes and ice cream, and they combine well with orange and raspberries. Their natural syrupy sweetness make them a ready-made inclusion for cereal, granola or bread, like gouda and green fig fougasse, for example. Figs also work well in salads – try them in a feta salad with balsamic dressing. Freeze-dried figs have a much longer shelf life than fresh sliced fig and are available all year round.
