What is Organic Pomegranate Powder?
Organic Pomegranate Powder is available in two professional-grade formats: Organic Pomegranate Fruit Powder (Whole Fruit) and Organic Pomegranate Juice Powder (Concentrated). Sourced from 100% organic-certified pomegranates (Punica granatum), these powders are iconic for their deep crimson pigments and high concentration of polyphenols, particularly punicalagins and vitamin C. Whether you require the full-spectrum fiber of the whole aril or the instant, vibrant solubility of a juice concentrate, our pomegranate solutions provide a potent, clean-label way to enhance cardiovascular health and “inner-glow” beauty formulations.
Why is Organic Pomegranate a “must-have” for functional labels?
Pomegranates have been revered for millennia as symbols of health and longevity. Modern science confirms their value, showing that pomegranates contain up to three times the antioxidant activity of green tea or red wine. Our Organic Pomegranate Powders are processed using low-temperature technology to preserve the delicate heat-sensitive antioxidants that support heart health, manage oxidative stress, and promote skin elasticity. Choosing organic ensures that these potent benefits are delivered without the interference of synthetic pesticides or chemical residues, meeting the rigorous standards of premium wellness brands.
What are the technical differences between our two specifications?
We offer these two distinct formats to ensure your formulation achieves the perfect balance of nutrition, flavor, and texture.

Which functional health claims can this ingredient support?
Integrating Organic Pomegranate Powder into your product allows for powerful, consumer-centric marketing:
- Heart Health & Circulation: Rich in polyphenols that support healthy nitric oxide levels and arterial function.
- Anti-Aging & Skin Radiance: High Vitamin C and ellagic acid content help protect collagen and brighten skin tone.
- Immune Resilience: Naturally antimicrobial and anti-inflammatory properties to support the body’s defense systems.
- Post-Workout Recovery: Helps reduce exercise-induced oxidative damage and muscle soreness.
- Clean-Label Coloring: Provides a natural, vibrant hue ranging from soft pink to deep red, replacing synthetic dyes.
How to Use: What are the best practices for formulation?
- In Functional Beverages: Use Organic Pomegranate Juice Powder at 5g to 10g per serving. It dissolves rapidly in water, providing a refreshing tartness that masks the earthy notes of plant proteins or botanicals.
- In Nutritional Bars & Snacks: Organic Pomegranate Fruit Powder adds both flavor and functional “chew.” Its natural acidity helps balance the sweetness of dates or syrups in “no-added-sugar” recipes.
- In Gummy Vitamins: The juice powder provides the intense flavor and bright color needed for organic gummies without adding excess moisture that might affect shelf-stability.
- As a Synergistic Booster: Combine with Organic Pomegranate Seed Extract for a “Standardized + Whole Food” label claim that offers both flavor and guaranteed active polyphenol levels.
FAQs
Q: Does the Juice Powder contain any carriers?
A: Because pomegranate juice is high in natural fruit sugars (fructose), a small amount of Organic Maltodextrin (usually 3%–5%) is typically used as a spray-drying aid to prevent the powder from clumping and ensure a 24-month shelf life.
Q: How does the color hold up during heat processing?
A: Pomegranate pigments (anthocyanins) are sensitive to high heat and neutral pH. For the most vibrant red color, we recommend maintaining a formulation pH between 3.0 and 4.5 and adding the powder after any high-heat steps if possible.
Q: Is the Fruit Powder made from the peel or just the arils?
A: Our standard fruit powder is made from the edible arils and seeds, providing a cleaner flavor. However, we can provide a “whole fruit” version including the peel (high in tannins) for specific medicinal or supplement applications upon request.
Q: What is the best way to prevent the powder from hardening?
A: Like most organic fruit powders, these are hygroscopic. They should be stored in a cool (<20°C), dry place in vacuum-sealed, light-proof bags. Once opened, they should be used quickly or re-sealed immediately.
