Freeze Dried fruit is a great way to incorporate more fruit into your diet. It is dried in a unique way that freezes and removes the water from the fruit. The freeze-drying process also extends the shelf life of normally highly perishable foods, such as raspberries and strawberries.
We have a wide range of freeze dried fruit and herbs that can be used in a similar way to their fresh versions as well as new and exciting uses. For example, freeze dried fruit powders are particularly useful in recipes where the fresh version would have too much water. This the lack of water provides a concentrated flavour and natural food colouring.
These wonderfully versatile ingredients can be used in a variety of dishes from confectionery to cakes, to bread and drinks!
Here are 10 recipes showing you different ways to use freeze dried fruit…
