FRUIT POWDERS – 8 HEALTH BENEFITS

Fruit powders are quite simply amazing – versatile, nutritious & delicious 🙂

There are plenty of fruit powders on the market – freeze dried, dehydrated, the choices are many. No need to wait for your favourite fruit to be in season, just grab a pouch of fruit powder from us and enjoy…

After your favorite fruit has been freeze-fried or carefully dehydrated, it is then typically ground into a powder. Nothing else –  no additives, just fruit minus the water.

Dehydrated fruit powder perfectly preserves about 95% of the nutrition.

So why would you want to use fruit powders?

Here are 8 benefits of adding powdered fruits into your diet.

1. FLAVOUR

Fruit powders are typically so delicious and nutritious because they are more concentrated than the whole fresh fruit. Before grinding the fruit into a powder, the drying process extracts the water, which leaves a more flavorful concentrated pulp. This enhances the flavor and nutritional profile of the fruit.

2. HIGH LEVELS OF NUTRITION

Unlike “natural flavours” that are so common in most of today’s processed foods, our fruit powders have no added sugars, artificial flavours, preservatives or chemicals. Our fruit powders retain about 95% of their nutritional value, so they are a great  source of antioxidants, minerals, vitamins and fiber.

3. VERSATILE

Fruit Powders allow you get creative in the kitchen with your recipes and favourite foods. Whether you want to boost your recipe’s nutrient profile or infuse it with delicious flavours.

Fruit powders really are the secret ingredients of chefs and bakers because of their flavour concentrations & great shelf life which is a very important quality in any food business. You can use fruit powders in snacks, sprinkled on yogurt, in smoothies, in baking, health bars, raw cakes, sweets, and much more!

4.  VEGAN AND VEGETARIAN FREINDLY

If you follow a vegetarian or vegan lifestyle, fruit powders open up a healthy, wide array of wonderful options. For example, our Coconut milk powder is an awesome substitute for people who prefer a dairy-free alternative, have lactose intolerance, or allergies, plus, it’s loaded with healthy fats and tastes delicious.

5. MAY SUPPORT HEALTHY DIGESTION

Many fruit powders are an excellent source of soluble and insoluble fiber, which may support a healthy digestive system and act as prebiotics to feed your probiotics resulting in overall digestive health.

6. RICH IN ANTIOXIDANTS

Most fruit powders have the same  beneficial antioxidant properties as their fresh version. Our Mango Powder for example is packed with Vitamin A & C

7. MAY ENCOURAGE A HEALTHY IMMUNE SYSTEM RESPONSE

Getting great nutrition means ensuring you supply your body with the right nutrients to fuel a proper immune system.  A deficiency in essential nutrients can affect how the body’s immune system responds.

For example, our Pineapple powder is rich in manganese, copper, and vitamins B6 and C that plays an important role in bone health, immunity, wound healing, energy production, and tissue synthesis

8. MAY SUPPORT A HEALTHY WEIGHT 

Fruit powders may promote fullness, which can help your healthy weight loss journey.

Since most fruit powders have fiber, they play a critical role in helping you minimize the amount of food you eat, providing more satiety per meal. Some fruit powders may also improve your metabolism, helping your body burn more fat while at rest.

And the best part is that fruit powders taste so good and are so full of vitamins and minerals you can freely enjoy your favorite fruit all year long instead of reaching for a highly processed convenience foods.
