Freeze-dried Dragon Fruit 30g

The dragon fruit, or pitahaya, is native to Southeast Asia. The exotic fruit is deep purple in colour, reminding you of watermelon in taste and surprising you with its crunchy black seeds inside. Packed with vitamins, it serves as a healthy snack for children and adults alike. Thanks to freeze-drying, the fruit retains its original properties such as taste, aroma, colour and, above all, nutrients.

Freeze-drying is the most gentle method of drying, which consists of freezing the fruit rapidly under low pressure and then drying it to remove all the water. Compared to fresh fruit, freeze-dried fruit is light in weight and has a long shelf life (about 1.5 years). You can enjoy the exotic taste of dragon fruit whenever you feel like it. 

Use:

It tastes great on its own or can be added to smoothie bowls, porridge or muesli. It is also very popular with confectioners, where the dragon fruit's bold purple colour adds a touch of pizzazz to ice creams and desserts.

How to store freeze-dried fruit:

Freeze-dried fruit should be stored at room temperature in its original bag, which you can carefully seal or transfer to a resealable container. This way, the fruit will stay crisp and retain its shape for longer.
