Freeze-Dried Fruit Inclusions for Bakery, Cereal & Snack Manufacturing

Fresh fruit is yummy, but it's hard to use in a big factory. Fresh fruit only grows at certain times of the year, so it's not always around. It's full of water, which can make dough and batter go soggy. And it goes off quickly, so it doesn't sit on a shelf like the other ingredients a factory uses. Freeze-dried fruit fixes all three of these problems, while still tasting fresh and looking bright and colourful. That's why so many bakery, cereal and snack makers now mix freeze-dried fruit pieces into their food.

Why Freeze-Dried Fruit Works So Well

  • No extra water — freeze-dried pieces are dry and crunchy. They won't leak water into your dough, batter, or cereal mix the way fresh or ordinary dried fruit can.
  • Lasts a long time — you can keep it on a shelf at room temperature for ages. No fridge or freezer needed.
  • Ready all year round — fresh fruit disappears when it's out of season, but freeze-dried fruit is ready whenever you need it.
  • Real colour, real taste — because we never use heat, the fruit keeps its true colour and its true flavour, not a faded, cooked version of it.

Our Range for Factories

We freeze-dry and pack fruit as diced pieces, sliced pieces, and fine powder, depending on what you need — diced apple, banana, blueberry, blackberry, strawberry, raspberry and more, plus fruit powders for adding colour and flavour. Diced pieces are great for muesli and granola bars, where you want people to actually see a real piece of fruit. Powders are great when you want the colour and taste of fruit, without a visible piece.
