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.
