What is Organic Raspberry Powder?
Organic Raspberry Powder is crafted from freeze-dried whole Rubus idaeus berries, retaining seeds, skin, and pulp nutrients. We also supply Organic Raspberry Juice Powder, a spray-dried concentrate from cold-pressed juice. Both deliver ≥3% ellagic acid, ≥5% anthocyanins, and keto-friendly sweetness (GI=32) without additives.

FAQs
Q: What is the main difference in application between Organic Raspberry Powder and Organic Raspberry Juice Powder?
A: Organic Raspberry Powder retains the fiber and some pulp from the whole fruit, making it great for products where body, texture, and insoluble fiber are desired (e.g., bars, baked goods). Organic Raspberry Juice Powder is highly soluble and delivers a more concentrated flavor and color, ideal for clear beverages and applications where solubility is key.
Q: Are your Organic Raspberry Powders suitable for vegan and gluten-free products?
A: Yes, both our Organic Raspberry Powder and Organic Raspberry Juice Powder are made from 100% organic raspberries, making them inherently vegan and gluten-free. They contain no animal products or common allergens.
Q: What is the typical shelf life and recommended storage for bulk quantities?
A: Both our Organic Raspberry Powder and Organic Raspberry Juice Powder typically have a shelf life of 18-24 months from the manufacturing date when stored in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight and moisture, in their original sealed, airtight packaging. Specific bulk storage recommendations will be provided with your order documentation.
Q: Do these powders require any special handling during formulation?
A: Due to their natural sugar content and hygroscopic nature, it’s recommended to handle both powders in a low-humidity environment and store them in airtight containers to prevent caking and maintain quality.
Q: Can these products be used for natural coloring?
A: Yes, both powders provide a beautiful natural red-pink color. The intensity can vary based on concentration and the specific variety of raspberry used.
