What is organic kiwi fruit powder?
Organic Kiwi Fruit Powder is meticulously crafted from 100% pure, organically cultivated whole kiwis. After harvesting, the ripe organic kiwis are thoroughly cleaned, gently dried (often via methods like freeze-drying or air-drying to preserve nutrient integrity), and then finely milled into a versatile powder. This careful processing ensures the preservation of kiwi’s vibrant green color (though it may lighten to pale green/yellow in powder form), characteristic tangy-sweet flavor, and comprehensive nutritional profile, including dietary fiber, high levels of Vitamin C, Vitamin K, Vitamin E, and natural enzymes like actinidin.
We also supply Organic Kiwi Juice Powder, which is produced by extracting and then carefully drying the pure juice of organic kiwis. This process concentrates the intense tangy-sweet flavor, bright color, and especially the high levels of soluble vitamins and enzymes into a highly soluble and potent form. This makes it ideal for beverages and applications where rapid dissolution and concentrated benefit are paramount.
Each powder is produced with care to maintain the kiwis’ exceptional flavor, inviting color, and inherent nutritional value, providing a versatile and clean-label ingredient for your formulations.
