Raspberry

Frzex supplies freeze-dried raspberries as whole berries (about 12–20 mm) and as fine powder. Whole berries are delicate and crisp, so some natural breakage is normal in transit; the powder gives a vivid red colour and tangy raspberry flavour.

Manufacturers use freeze-dried raspberries in chocolate and confectionery, bakery and patisserie, breakfast cereals and granola, yoghurt and dessert toppings, smoothie powders, tea blends and beverage mixes. The powder is a popular natural colour and flavour for coatings and fillings.

Raspberries are not grown commercially at scale in India, so Frzex imports frozen raspberries from established growing regions, freeze-dries and packs them in India, and re-exports them. The country of origin of each lot is declared on its Certificate of Analysis and shipping documents, following the destination's rules of origin.

Freeze-drying removes water at low temperature, so raspberries keep their shape, bright colour and fresh tangy flavour and turn light and crisp. Heat-dried raspberries darken, lose aroma and become chewy. Freeze-dried raspberries also crush easily into powder or crumble for toppings.

Frzex freeze-dried raspberry 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.

Freeze-dried whole raspberries are generally classified under HS 0813.40 (dried fruit, other), and raspberry powder under HS 1106.30 (flour and powder of fruit). Importers should confirm the full national tariff line with their customs broker.
