What's in It

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

Diced freeze-dried orange with a vibrant orange colour and zesty, sweet orange flavour.

Spec: Water activity ≤ 0.30.

Single-ingredient fruit, suitable for vegans. Packed in 250 g and 1 kg bags.

Usage & Yield Guide

Built for chocolate inclusions, bakery, cereal, tea blends and confectionery.

  • Format: Diced pieces distribute evenly through dry mixes, batters and automated hoppers.
  • In dry mixes: stays crisp with no moisture migration into cereal, granola or chocolate.
  • In wet mixes: rehydrates in yoghurt, batters and drinks; add late to keep shape.

Will Diced Orange Go Soft on a Cake Display?

Short answer: they stay crisp for several hours in a normal room, and soften once they absorb moisture. Unlike fresh orange, there is no juice to weep into the icing.

Citrus is the fastest of all our fruit to pull moisture from the air because of its natural acids and sugars, so expect it to soften sooner than berries. It holds best on dry surfaces such as ganache, chocolate, meringue or a glaze that has set.

Diced pieces have more cut surfaces than whole fruit, so they soften a little sooner. They are ideal for borders, scattered tops and folding through frosting.

  • Display cabinets: decorate as close to display time as possible; chilled cabinets soften pieces faster than ambient ones.
  • All-day display: set pieces on chocolate or ganache, or seal them with a light cocoa-butter spray to slow moisture uptake.
  • Prep ahead: keep decorated items covered and dry; do not decorate the night before.

Storage & Freshness

Keep it sealed, cool and dry. Diced freeze-dried orange pulls moisture from the air, which is what turns it from crisp to chewy.

Citrus is especially quick to absorb humidity, so press the air out and reseal straight after every use.

  • Unopened: store at room temperature, away from heat and sunlight.
  • After opening: take out what you need for the day and reseal the bag, or decant into an airtight food-grade tub.
  • Best used within a week of opening.

Bulk Australian Diced Freeze-Dried Orange | Wholesale Manufacturing Grade

High-impact citrus inclusions for large-scale food production. Forever Foods’ Diced Freeze-Dried Orange provides a bright, zesty profile and vibrant natural color without the moisture complications of fresh or frozen citrus. Processed in our HACCP-certified Melbourne facility, these 100% pure orange pieces are engineered to maintain their intense aromatic oils and structural integrity in both dry and high-moisture manufacturing environments.

Solving Manufacturing Pain Points

  • Citrus Oil Preservation: Our low-temperature freeze-drying process locks in the natural essential oils and Vitamin C, providing a fresh "zest" flavor that usually dissipates in traditional heat-dried fruit.
  • Moisture Migration Control: With a water activity (aw) ≤ 0.30, our diced orange won't soften crispy inclusions or bleed juice into chocolate coatings, ensuring a premium, shelf-stable finish.
  • Production Consistency: Uniform dicing ensures precise distribution in automated production lines, preventing "flavor hot spots" and ensuring consistent fruit-to-base ratios in every unit.
  • Logistical Cost Reduction: As a shelf-stable, lightweight alternative to frozen orange segments, this product eliminates cold-chain dependency and significantly lowers shipping and storage overheads.

Industrial Applications

1. Chocolate & Confectionery

The ultimate inclusion for dark chocolate bars and citrus-infused pralines. The diced format provides a clean "crunch" and instant flavor burst without introducing water that could cause chocolate bloom.

2. Tea Blending & Beverages

Widely used by Australian tea blenders and craft brewers. The diced pieces provide high surface area for rapid flavor infusion, releasing natural citrus notes and vibrant color into hot or cold liquids.

3. Bakery & Snack Bars

Perfect for premium biscotti, granola bars, and muffin toppers. Unlike candied peel, our freeze-dried orange contains no added sugar or sulfur, meeting the "clean label" demands of modern consumers.
