From ingredient to creation
Applications
Explore fruit and vegetable ingredients for bakery, cereals, confectionery, savoury foods and more. Start with an application, then discuss the format that fits your recipe.
Bakery

Explore slices for visible pieces and dices or powders for smaller inclusions.

Cereals & Granola
Build contrast in a cereal bowl with strawberry or banana slices, or consider apple dices for a smaller fruit inclusion. Assess piece size and handling alongside your cereal base, and try the finished product with the intended serving liquid.
Slices and dices offer different visual scales in dry cereal blends.

Chocolate & Confectionery
Consider strawberry slices as a visible topping, raspberry dices as inclusions, or fruit powders in a confectionery formulation. Trial the ingredient in your chosen chocolate or filling to assess flavour balance, dispersion and texture.
Slices, dices and powders can serve different roles in your creation.

- Freeze-Dried Blueberry Powder
- Freeze-Dried Strawberry Powder
Dairy & Desserts
Explore mango or raspberry powder in a dessert recipe, or yellow peach dices as a topping. Evaluate the fruit with your dairy or alternative base; acidity, moisture and processing conditions need to be considered in the finished recipe.
Powders for formulation trials; dices for visible fruit pieces.
