Freeze-dried diced pineapple: real pineapple, cut into small 4–5 mm pieces, with only the water taken out. The pieces are light, crunchy and bright yellow, with the sweet-and-tangy taste of ripe pineapple. Nothing is added: no sugar, no syrup, no sulphite preservatives and no oil coating. The only ingredient is pineapple.
- 100% pineapple: one ingredient, so your label stays short and simple.
- Small 4–5 mm dice: about the size of a chocolate chip, so they spread evenly through cereal, batters and dry blends, and flow well through hoppers and dosing equipment.
- Dry and crunchy: not sticky like soft-dried or glacé pineapple, so pieces don't clump together.
- Three bag sizes: 250g, 500g and 1kg, with larger cartons on request.
Where Freeze-Dried Diced Pineapple Gets Used
The small 4–5 mm size suits jobs where you want pineapple flavour in every bite, without big chunks or the juice of fresh fruit:
- Cereal, muesli and granola: small pieces mix through evenly and stay crunchy in the dry mix.
- Snack bars and protein bars: they bind into the bar without leaving big gaps or soft spots.
- Muffins, cookies, scones and baking mixes: fold them in dry like chocolate chips, or soak them first for a softer, juicier bite.
- Chocolate and confectionery: good for barks, clusters and fillings, and small enough for thin moulded chocolate.
- Ice cream and frozen desserts: stir them in as a crunchy tropical inclusion.
- Tea and drink blends: small pieces soften quickly in hot or cold water and give up their flavour.
- Toppings: scatter over yoghurt, smoothie bowls, desserts and cocktails. Crush them with sugar for a tropical rim sugar.

Diced, Pieces or Powder?
We sell freeze-dried pineapple in three formats. Diced (this product) gives small 4–5 mm pieces for mixing, dosing and inclusions. Freeze-dried pineapple pieces are bigger, irregular chunks for snacking, toppings and garnish. Freeze-dried pineapple powder is for drinks, smoothie bases, icings and flavouring.

Frequently Asked Questions
Does freeze-dried diced pineapple have added sugar?
No. The only ingredient is pineapple. The sweet taste comes from the fruit's own natural sugars, which taste stronger once the water is removed.
What's the difference between freeze-dried and dried pineapple?
Ordinary dried pineapple is dried with heat and often has sugar and sulphite preservatives added, which makes it chewy and sticky. Freeze-dried pineapple is frozen, and then the water is removed under a vacuum. That keeps the pineapple light, crunchy and bright yellow, with nothing added.
How do you rehydrate freeze-dried pineapple?
Because the pieces are small (4–5 mm), they soften quickly: cover them with water or juice for a few minutes, then drain. For cereal, trail mix or snacking, use them dry. For baking you can add them dry, or soak them first for a softer, juicier piece.
What size are the diced pineapple pieces?
Our standard dice is small pieces of about 4–5 mm. That's small enough to spread evenly through cereal, bars and baking mixes, and still big enough to see and taste in the finished product.
Will it stay crunchy in cereal or granola?
Yes, as long as the mix stays dry and sealed. Moisture is what makes freeze-dried fruit soften, so pack it in moisture-proof packaging. In milk, yoghurt or drinks, it softens within minutes.
Can I buy freeze-dried pineapple wholesale or in larger sizes?
Yes. Online we sell 250g, 500g and 1kg bags. For bigger orders we supply cartons of up to 25kg, starting from a $300 order value with any mix of products. Request a quote at wholesale.foreverfoods.au.
Do you ship freeze-dried pineapple overseas?
Yes. We ship within Australia and internationally, including to the US. Bulk freight is quoted per order.
How should I store it?
Keep the bag sealed in a cool, dry place away from sunlight. Once it's open, reseal it straight away or move the pineapple into an airtight container, and use it within a week.
