Ingredients

Strawberry, maltodextrin, corn starch.

Our Strawberry Fruit Powder is made from plump red ripe strawberries (Fragaria x ananassa) that have been pureed and then dried to lock in their sweet, fresh flavor, red color and nutritional value. This flavorful, pale red powder can be added to fruit jellies or glazes, hot or dry cereals, yogurt, candy fillings, sauces, desserts and anywhere that could use a touch of fresh strawberry flavor. Especially useful in recipes that need a boost of flavor, without added liquid. Contains added maltodextrin, cornstarch and sunflower lecithin to maintain product flow.

Strawberries are cultivated in temperate regions all over the world, and are valued for their tantalizing aroma, bright red color, juicy texture and sweetness. They are an extremely popular fruit, and are eaten in large quantities fresh, preserved, dried and in processed form in numerous industrial food products. The garden-variety strawberry was first cultivated as a hybrid in Brittany, France, in the 1750s using two different wild species-Fragaria virginiana from Eastern North America and Fragaria chiloensis from Chile-but cultivation of wild strawberries dates as far back as the 14th century.

Strawberries are an excellent source of vitamin C, providing more per serving than an orange. They are also high in dietary fiber and antioxidants.

Strawberries are popular in numerous culinary applications due to their rich flavor and color, from jam-making and sweet dessert sauces to ice cream, sorbet and baked goods. Our Strawberry Fruit Powder can be used in conjunction with or instead of fresh strawberries in many of these applications.
