"Fruit Powders"

What Is Fruit Powder?

Fruit powder is created through the gradual dehydration of whole fruits, which are then ground into a vibrant, fine powder that retains much of their original flavour and nutrition. At Urban Platter, our fruit powders are made from carefully selected fruit — picked at its peak ripeness — and freeze-dried or low-heat dehydrated to preserve flavour, aroma, and essential phytonutrients.

These powders deliver the pure essence of fruit, without sugar, colour, or preservatives—only 100% real fruit, condensed into lightweight, easy-to-use sachets or jars that maintain freshness longer and inspire culinary creativity.

Why Fruit Powders Work

Fruit powders offer practical advantages over fresh or frozen fruit:

• Concentrated Nutrition: With drying, vitamins, minerals, antioxidants, and fibre are locked into a shelf-stable form.
• Minimum Waste & Longer Shelf Life: Say goodbye to freezer burn or spoilage; fruit powders have a shelf life of 6 to 12 months when stored properly.
• Convenience & Consistency: No chopping, peeling, or deseeding; always the same flavour with easy measuring.
• Portion Control & Zero Waste: Use just the right amount—no overripe half wasted.
• Lightweight & Travel-Friendly: Perfect for on-the-go enjoyment, picnics, or school lunchboxes.

Fruit Powder Applications

Sweet, tangy, or tart, fruit powders are ready to be used in countless culinary creations:

• Smoothies & Shakes: Mix 1–2 teaspoons for vibrant flavour and colour.
• Breakfast Bowls & Oatmeal: Sprinkle over porridge, yoghurt bowls, or chia puddings.
• Baking & Confectionery: Swirl into muffins, cakes, biscuits, macarons, or frostings for natural flavour and visual appeal.
• Frozen Treats: Mix into homemade ice cream, sorbet, or yoghurt popsicles for natural fruit intensity.
• Drinks & Mocktails: Whisk into lemonades, cocktails, kombucha, or tea for fruity sweetness.
• Savoury Blends: Excellent in cheese glazes, salad dressings, marinades, or beet dip.

FAQs

• Can fresh fruit be replaced with fruit powder?
  Fruit powders offer flavour and some nutrients (particularly fibre, antioxidants, and vitamins). Use them alongside fresh fruit and whole foods for top-quality nutrition.
• How much should I use?
  For flavour, start with 1 teaspoon (2 g). Add to taste—2–3 teaspoons provide more colour and sweetness. For smoothies, use 5–10g depending on the size of the recipe.
• Are they vegan and gluten-free?
  Yes! All are 100% fruit, free from any allergens—vegan, gluten-free, and suitable for most diets.
• Where should I store them?
  Store powders in airtight sachets or jars in a dry, cool, dark place. Seal tightly after opening to prevent clumping.
• Are they safe for children?
  Yes. Fruit powders taste great, are natural, and are easy to add to kids’ snacks like yoghurt, pancakes, or granola without added sugar.
• Do they lose nutrient value during storage?
  When stored correctly, fruit powders retain potency for 6–12 months. Freeze-dried products preserve flavour and phytonutrients considerably well.
• Can I combine and match different fruit powders?
  Yes—combine strawberry and banana for berry-banana desserts or pineapple and mango for tropical smoothie bowls.
• Can I bake with them?
  Yes. Fruit powders withstand baking well and can handle gentle heat, adding authentic fruit flavour and natural colour.
