Strawberry

Frzex supplies freeze-dried strawberry as halves, slices (about 15–30 mm) and fine powder. Pieces keep their bright red colour and natural shape; the powder gives strong strawberry colour and flavour. We can also supply custom cuts or mesh sizes on request.

Food manufacturers use freeze-dried strawberries in breakfast cereals and muesli, bakery and chocolate inclusions, yoghurt and dessert toppings, smoothie and protein powders, ice cream, tea blends and beverage mixes. The powder is popular as a natural colouring and flavouring ingredient.

In the Indian season (roughly December to April) Frzex sources strawberries from Indian growers, mainly in Maharashtra. Outside the season, Frzex imports frozen strawberries, 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 strawberries keep their shape, bright colour and fresh flavour and become light and crunchy. Heat-dehydrated strawberries shrink and turn chewy and darker. Freeze-dried strawberries also rehydrate much faster in milk, yoghurt or water.

Frzex freeze-dried strawberry 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 strawberry pieces are generally classified under HS 0813.40 (dried fruit, other), and strawberry powder under HS 1106.30 (flour and powder of fruit). Importers should confirm the full national tariff line with their customs broker.
