What is Organic Raspberry Powder?
Organic Raspberry Powder is a natural, nutrient-rich powder made from freeze-dried raspberries. This process ensures the preservation of the vibrant flavor, color, and nutritional benefits of fresh raspberries. The resulting powder is a concentrated source of natural goodness, packed with essential vitamins, minerals, and antioxidants. It offers a convenient way to enjoy the health benefits and delicious taste of raspberries all year round, even when fresh raspberries are not in season. This versatile ingredient can enhance the flavor profile of a wide range of culinary creations, adding a burst of natural sweetness and a beautiful red hue.
Specifications:
- Organic Raspberry Powder: Made by drying the whole raspberry fruit, including the skin, pulp, and seeds.
- Organic Raspberry Juice Powder: Made by extracting juice from the raspberries, concentrating it, and then spray-drying it into a powder form.
Key Differences Between Raspberry Powder and Raspberry Juice Powder:

Flavor | Tart, slightly sweet, and complex with natural berry notes | More intense, slightly sweeter raspberry flavor due to concentrated juice |
