Strawberries Whole - Freeze Dried

Approx 1,000 strawberries in 1 kg of freeze-dried.

1 kg of freeze-dried strawberries = approx 9–10 kg of fresh strawberries.

Our Freeze-Dried Whole Strawberries give food brands a whole-fruit inclusion with strong visual impact and real strawberry flavour. Freeze-drying keeps the berry's heart shape and bright red colour, and gives a light, crunchy texture that fresh or frozen fruit can't offer in shelf-stable products. They suit confectionery, breakfast cereal and snack lines.

• 100% Whole Strawberries: No added sugar, oil coating or preservatives.
• Holds Its Shape: Stays round and recognisable in dry mixes.
• Bright Red Colour: A fresh-picked look in clear-window packs.
• No Juice: Unlike fresh strawberries, there is no juice to run into coatings or dairy.
• Simple Label: Single ingredient and vegan-friendly.

Organic Australian Strawberries

Our organic line is grown on certified organic Australian farms — no synthetic pesticides or fertilisers — then freeze-dried in Melbourne and packed under our HACCP-certified food safety program. The fruit is handled exactly like our conventional Australian berries: picked ripe, frozen fast and freeze-dried whole, so you get the same heart shape, the same crimson colour and the same clean crunch.

It suits brands that need an organically grown inclusion for cereal, chocolate, snack and dairy lines, or that simply want a cleaner input story on pack. Single ingredient, no added sugar, no oil coating and vegan-friendly. Available in 500 g and 1 kg bags, with grower certification paperwork and batch documents supplied on request.

Applications & Primary Uses

• Cereal & Granola: A hero inclusion that stays crisp and easy to spot.
• Chocolate & Confectionery: Whole-berry dipping in dark, milk or white chocolate.
• Dairy & Desserts: A garnish for acai bowls, yoghurt and ice cream.
• Beverage & Tea Blending: A visual element in loose-leaf tea and cocktail garnishes.
• Snacks: A single-ingredient fruit snack with no added sugar.
• Baking: A topper for tarts and pastries. Decorate close to serving time, as pieces soften once they absorb moisture.

Easier Than Fresh or Frozen

Fresh and frozen whole strawberries are fragile and leak juice. Freeze-dried whole strawberries stay round and recognisable through the supply chain, and their low water activity keeps them crisp in dry mixes like granola and chocolate.

All our products are packed and handled under a HACCP-certified food safety program with full batch traceability.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is in freeze-dried whole strawberries?

100% strawberries. Nothing else: no added sugar, oil coating, preservatives or artificial colours.

What is the difference between your organic and standard Australian strawberries?

Both are Australian grown, freeze-dried in Melbourne and packed under the same HACCP-certified program. The organic bags are made from fruit grown on certified organic Australian farms, without synthetic pesticides or fertilisers. Flavour, colour and crunch are the same; the organic line costs more because the fruit does.

How many strawberries are in 1 kg?

Roughly 1,000 whole strawberries, made from about 9–10 kg of fresh fruit.

Will whole freeze-dried strawberries go soft on a cake display?

They stay crisp for several hours in a normal room and soften once they absorb moisture. Decorate as close to display time as possible, or set them on chocolate or ganache for all-day display.

How should I store freeze-dried strawberries?

Unopened, store at room temperature away from heat and sunlight. After opening, reseal the bag or decant into an airtight tub, and use within a week.

What sizes are available and how fast do you dispatch?

100 g, 250 g, 500 g and 1 kg bags, plus organic 500 g and 1 kg in the Australian range, dispatched within 24–72 hours. For larger volumes or a specification sheet, request a wholesale quote.
