Freeze-Dried Pineapple

Your acai bowl looks like it could use a little brightening up with some sunshiny pieces of pineapple but you’re out of fresh fruit! Fret not, a handful of our Freeze-Dried Pineapple does the trick just as well. With an intense flavour and bright yellow colour, pineapples work well with creamy flavours to balance out the sweetness but that’s not all they’re good for. Pineapples are excellent sources of vitamin C, manganese and bromelain which works wonders for our bodies. Plus, pineapples are actually really low in calories and high in dietary fibre thus making them great snacks for when you just feel like a healthy nibble.
Why opt for freeze-drying instead of other methods? Freeze drying fruits and vegetables ensure it preserves the fruit or vegetable’s enzymes, vitamins and antioxidants. Unlike normal dehydrating or drying processes, freeze-drying also preserves the fruit/vegetable’s freshness, colour, texture and flavour as well so there is no need for artificial preservatives, colourings or flavourings.
