Direct-dried fruit offers a chewy texture and concentrated sweetness, making it suitable for snacks, bakery products and inclusions. Freeze-dried fruit keeps a lighter, crisp structure and rehydrates quickly.
The right choice depends on the application. Buyers should compare fruit content, added sweeteners, moisture, particle size, colour, microbiological limits and storage conditions.
For stable quotations, specify the fruit variety, cut, packing format and annual or trial volume. Samples should be evaluated in the final recipe whenever possible.
