Vilgain Dragon fruit lyophilized - bring exoticism to your table in the form of freeze‑dried dragon fruit

Vilgain lyophilized dragon fruit, or pitahaya, has a distinctive purple colour and crunchy black seeds. It can enhance any sweet dish or dessert with both flavour and a load of vitamins that are not destroyed by freeze‑drying.

Quick freezing preserves the aroma, flavour and vitamin and mineral content

How does this freeze‑drying process actually work? Dragon fruit or other fruits (even vegetables) are exposed to high freezing temperatures and then slowly dried in a vacuum, completely removing the water. Through this process, the fruit regains its typical lightness and retains its colour, aroma and flavour. In addition, the fruit is packed with vitamins, which are preserved as if it were fresh because it is not affected by heat. Dragon fruit naturally contains high levels of vitamin C, B vitamins and minerals such as magnesium and iron.

Enhancing porridges, yoghurt, muesli, decorating desserts or replacing fresh fruit? Lyo fruit can do it all

You can use freeze‑dried fruit anywhere you use fresh fruit. You can use it to decorate and flavour porridge, yoghurt, and muesli with milk or smoothies. It's also prevalent for pastry chefs, making decorating desserts simple and effective. Thanks to the perfect drying, you can use the dragon fruit whole or crush it between your fingers to create a fine powder. Lyophilised dragon fruit has one more perfect feature - once you soak it in water, it will swell back up and regain its original size, and texture and be indistinguishable from classic fresh fruit.
