Healthier Hues with Real Ingredients — MicroDried Fruits & Vegetables

Clean-label expectations are reshaping food product development. Today’s consumers want fewer ingredients, and they want to recognize every one of them: This developing attention to food ingredients is stemming from factors such as health consciousness, desire for simpler ingredients, and a growing appreciation for the vibrant tastes that nature provides.

As an industry response, we’re seeing a significant shift towards cleaner alternatives to artificial colors and flavors amongst manufactures in a multitude of divisions, from snacking to beverage. Amid this change, how can food developers satisfy the demand for cleaner ingredients without sacrificing the visual and flavor appeal consumers crave?

As R&D professionals are working to answer this very question, MicroDried offers a solution: Dried fruit and vegetable powders with a single ingredient label.

Naturally Colorful, Naturally Better

MicroDried powders deliver vibrant color and bold flavor — nothing added, just 100% pure fruit and vegetables. Our powders are vividly colorful due to our gentle drying process which preserves the intrinsic color of the fruits and vegetables without any added dyes.

Additionally, our versatile powders, with over 40 available in our portfolio, are:

Benefits Beyond the Surface: MicroDried’s Added Value

MicroDried powders not only replace artificial dyes and flavors, but they also elevate nutritional value by naturally enhancing fiber, vitamins, and antioxidant content.

Thanks to our proprietary drying method, more of the fruits and vegetables’ cellular structure and phytonutrients are preserved—offering better function and clean-label appeal for applications ranging from bakery and snacks to beverages and supplements.
