Premium Freeze-Dried Pomegranate for Food Manufacturing & Export
Freeze-Dried Pomegranate is made from ripe Indian Bhagwa pomegranates. The arils are separated and freeze-dried at low temperature under vacuum, which removes water through sublimation instead of heat, keeping their deep red colour and sweet-tart flavour in a crisp, crunchy form.
Key Features
- Vacuum freeze-dried at low temperature to preserve near-fresh colour, aroma and flavour
- Ultra-low moisture (max 3%) with a light, crisp texture
- Rehydrates quickly, close to its original texture and flavour
- Available as Arils / Powder
- No added sugar or preservatives in the standard grade
- Custom cuts, mesh sizes and packing on request
Applications
Freeze-Dried Pomegranate is used in breakfast cereals and granola, snack bars and trail mixes, chocolate and confectionery, yoghurt and dessert toppings, salads and meal kits, and as a powder in juice, smoothie and beverage mixes.
Sourcing
India is one of the world's largest pomegranate producers, and we source Bhagwa pomegranates from Indian growers, mainly in Maharashtra, then freeze-dry and pack them in India for export.
Export & Customization
We offer bulk export supply, private label packaging, customized specifications and flexible packaging solutions to meet international buyer requirements.
Storage
Store in a cool, dry place in moisture-proof, airtight packaging away from direct sunlight. Freeze-dried products are highly hygroscopic and reabsorb moisture quickly once opened, so reseal tightly between uses.
Frequently Asked Questions about Freeze-Dried Pomegranate

What is freeze-dried pomegranate used for?
Manufacturers use freeze-dried pomegranate arils in breakfast cereals and granola, snack bars and trail mixes, chocolate and confectionery, yoghurt and dessert toppings, and salads and meal kits. The powder is used in juice, smoothie and beverage mixes for colour and flavour.
Where does Frzex source its pomegranates?
India is one of the world's largest pomegranate producers. Frzex sources Bhagwa pomegranates from Indian growers, mainly in Maharashtra, then separates the arils and freeze-dries and packs them in India for export.
What is the difference between freeze-dried and dehydrated pomegranate?
Freeze-drying removes water at low temperature, so pomegranate arils stay deep red, keep their sweet-tart flavour and turn crunchy. Heat-dried arils darken and become hard and leathery. Freeze-dried arils also blend more easily into fine powder.
What is the moisture content and shelf life of freeze-dried pomegranate?
Frzex freeze-dried pomegranate is dried to a maximum moisture of 3%. In sealed foil-laminated packaging, stored cool and dry, it has a typical shelf life of 12 to 24 months. It absorbs moisture quickly once opened, so reseal packs tightly.
What is the HS code for freeze-dried pomegranate?
Freeze-dried pomegranate arils are generally classified under HS 0813.40 (dried fruit, other), and pomegranate powder under HS 1106.30 (flour and powder of fruit). Importers should confirm the full national tariff line with their customs broker.
