Premium Freeze-Dried Watermelon for Food Manufacturing & Export
Freeze-Dried Watermelon is made from fresh, ripe Indian watermelon using low-temperature vacuum freeze-drying, which removes water through sublimation instead of heat. Watermelon is over 90% water, so freeze-drying turns it into a light, crisp piece that keeps its pink-red colour and sweet, refreshing flavour.
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 Cubes / Slices / Powder
- No added sugar or preservatives in the standard grade
- Custom cuts, mesh sizes and packing on request
Applications
Freeze-Dried Watermelon is used in fruit snacks and trail mixes, breakfast cereals and granola, smoothie and juice powders, electrolyte and beverage mixes, confectionery inclusions, and as a colourful topping for desserts.
Sourcing
We source watermelon from growers across India, where it is widely cultivated, and freeze-dry and pack it 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 Watermelon
What forms of freeze-dried watermelon does Frzex supply?
Frzex supplies freeze-dried watermelon as cubes (about 8–12 mm), slices and fine powder. Pieces are light and crisp with a bright pink-red colour; the powder dissolves easily in drinks and dry mixes. We can cut and mill to a buyer's specification on request.
What is freeze-dried watermelon used for?
Manufacturers use freeze-dried watermelon in fruit snacks, trail mixes, breakfast cereals and granola, smoothie and juice powders, electrolyte and beverage mixes, and as a colourful topping for desserts and confectionery. The powder adds natural colour and watermelon flavour to drinks.
Where does Frzex source its watermelon?
Watermelon is widely grown across India, so Frzex sources fresh fruit from Indian growers and freeze-dries and packs it in India for export. If a buyer needs a specific variety or origin, we can discuss sourcing options for that order.
What is the difference between freeze-dried and dehydrated watermelon?
Freeze-drying removes water by sublimation at low temperature, so watermelon keeps its shape, colour and flavour and becomes light and crunchy. Heat dehydration shrinks the fruit into a chewy, darker piece. Freeze-dried watermelon also rehydrates much faster.
What is the moisture content and shelf life of freeze-dried watermelon?
Frzex freeze-dried watermelon is dried to a maximum moisture of 3%. Packed in sealed foil-laminated bags and 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 watermelon?
Freeze-dried watermelon pieces are generally classified under HS 0813.40 (dried fruit, other), and watermelon powder under HS 1106.30 (flour and powder of fruit). Importers should confirm the full national tariff line with their customs broker.
Can I get a sample of freeze-dried watermelon before ordering in bulk?
Yes. You can request a sample through the Frzex Samples page. Our team confirms the form, quantity and dispatch details with you, so you can test the product in your own application before placing a bulk FCL or LCL order.
