About Product
Organic freeze-dried red raspberry powder is made from freshly harvested, ripe red raspberries that are freeze-dried to preserve their nutrients and flavor.
Freeze-drying is an effective way of retaining the quality of food because it prevents unwanted growth and retains the raspberries’ nutritional content.
The process was also used in World War II when the US military used it to preserve rations for soldiers.
Today, freeze-dried raspberry powder is a popular ingredient in smoothies, baked goods, and other recipes. Its sweet, tart flavor and nutrients make it an excellent addition to many dishes.
