Vilgain Freeze-Dried Dragon Fruit, also known as pitahaya, features a vibrant purple color and crunchy black seeds. It will elevate any sweet dish or dessert.
Rapid freezing preserves aroma and flavor
How does the freeze-drying process actually work? Dragon fruit or other fruits (even vegetables) are exposed to extremely low temperatures and then slowly dried in a vacuum, which completely removes the water. Through this process, the fruit gains its characteristic lightness and retains its color, aroma, and flavor. In addition, the fruit is packed with nutrients, which are preserved just like in fresh fruit, as they are not affected by heat.
You can use freeze-dried fruit anywhere you would use fresh fruit. You can decorate and flavor porridge, yogurt, muesli with milk, or smoothies with it. It is also very popular among pastry chefs, as it can be used to easily and effectively decorate desserts. Dragon fruit can be used whole or crumbled between your fingers – thanks to perfect drying, you can create a fine powder. Freeze-dried dragon fruit has another great feature – once you soak it in water, it swells back up and regains its original size and texture, making it indistinguishable from regular fresh fruit.
