Freeze-dried blueberries 600g

Description

Our freeze-dried blueberries 600g are offered in bulk format for bakeries, chocolate shops, cafes, restaurants, caterers, gourmet shops and food companies that wish to incorporate a whole, light and crunchy fruit into their recipes or specialty product offerings.

Thanks to freeze-drying, the blueberries retain a concentrated fruity flavor, a naturally attractive blue-violet color, and a light, crisp texture. Their whole size allows the fruit to be showcased in desserts, chocolates, baked goods, dry mixes, and retail presentations.

Why use freeze-dried blueberries?

Freeze-dried blueberries allow you to incorporate the fruit without introducing the amount of water found in fresh or thawed blueberries. They are particularly suitable for applications where moisture could soften a filling, alter the texture of chocolate, or reduce the desired crunch.

They can be used whole to create a visible garnish, lightly crushed to form shards, or incorporated into various dry preparations. Their texture provides an interesting contrast, while their sweet and fruity flavor blends easily into many professional creations.

Blueberries pair naturally with lemon, vanilla, maple, white chocolate, dairy products, lavender, nuts, and other berries. These combinations allow for the development of classic recipes, seasonal creations, and signature products.

Professional applications

Freeze-dried blueberries can be used as a topping, decoration, inclusion or ingredient in chocolates, desserts, cakes, yogurts, breakfast bowls, granolas, gourmet bars, cereals, dry mixes and culinary creations.

They are also suitable for finishing pastries, drinks, frozen desserts, and ready-to-sell products. To preserve their crisp texture, it is best to add them close to serving time or limit their prolonged contact with very moist preparations.

Possible uses of freeze-dried blueberries

• filling for desserts, cakes, entremets and pastries;
• inclusion in chocolates, tablets, truffles and gourmet bites;
• addition to yogurts, breakfast bowls, cereals and granolas;
• Incorporation into gourmet bars and dry mixes;
• finishing of icings, creams, mousses and frozen desserts;

A 600g bulk format suitable for regular use

The 600g format is particularly suitable for professionals who regularly use freeze-dried fruit. It offers a larger quantity for production, while remaining lightweight, easy to store, handle, and portion.

This format is suitable for larger-scale trials, recurring productions, seasonal menus, dessert assortments, and businesses wishing to integrate freeze-dried blueberries into their offerings.

Equivalence reference point: 600 g of freeze-dried blueberries is equivalent to approximately 11,200 fresh wild blueberries. This estimate may vary depending on the variety, size, and natural water content of the fruit.

This equivalence helps to better understand the actual amount of fruit needed to obtain this format after the water has been removed by freeze-drying.

Usage and storage instructions

Freeze-dried blueberries are naturally fragile. Handle them gently if you wish to preserve their shape. To obtain pieces or shards, they can be lightly crushed by hand or with a clean, dry utensil.

Because freeze-dried fruit quickly absorbs ambient moisture, carefully reseal the packaging after each use. Store the product in a cool, dry place and always use completely dry utensils to preserve its crisp texture.

Practical, versatile and easy to store, 600g freeze-dried blueberries are an effective solution for professionals looking for a tasty, colorful fruit that is easy to incorporate into their creations.
