Freeze-dried Fruit
From macarons to muffins: with freeze-dried fruit you give your recipes a surprising twist. The pure flavour and long shelf life make it a favourite among many baking enthusiasts.
What is freeze-dried fruit and how can you bake with it?
Freeze-dried fruit is fruit that has had all its moisture removed through a special freeze-drying process, while retaining its colour, flavour and nutrients. The result? Light and crisp fruit with a concentrated, pure fruit flavour. Ideal as a natural flavouring in macarons, meringues, chocolate bars or as colourful cake decoration. It is also a delicious addition to yoghurt or granola.
Alongside freeze-dried varieties, we also offer classic dried fruits, such as dried mango, apricots or strawberries. These contain slightly more moisture and are perfect for cakes, yoghurt or as a wholesome snack. This allows you to choose exactly the type of fruit that suits your recipe and baking style.
Benefits of freeze-dried fruit
• Light and crisp: freeze-dried fruit is lightweight and has a crunchy texture. Perfect as a topping on cakes, desserts or in breakfast cereals.
• Colour retention: the fruit keeps its natural colour, giving your bakes a fresh and festive look.
• Long shelf life: as all moisture has been removed, the fruit keeps for months. Ideal to always have something flavourful in stock.
Various types of freeze-dried fruit
From whole strawberries and raspberries to fine powders or pieces. Choose freeze-dried strawberries to decorate your cupcakes, or use dried mango for a tropical touch in your banana bread.
Combining freeze-dried fruit with other baking products
Freeze-dried fruit combines perfectly with other baking ingredients. Add it to chocolate, nougat or meringue for a fresh flavour and vibrant colour. Make energy bars with dried mango and nuts, or decorate your biscuits with freeze-dried raspberries and white chocolate. The possibilities are endless.
