Dried fruits and vegetables

Company: Milne Fruit Products, Prosser, WA

Ingredient Snapshot: Milne Fruit Products uses a vacuum microwave dehydration technology to produce its all-natural MicroDried fruits and vegetables. The process gently heats each piece to reduce the microbial load and preserve polyphenol levels. In addition, it uses no artificial ingredients, sugars, flavoring, color or preservatives, and retains more of the actual size and visual appearance of the fruit or vegetable piece. MicroDried ingredients can be used to add real fruit color, flavor and enhanced nutritional values to numerous consumer products, including baked goods and snack chips. They are available whole or as fragments; select products or varieties are available in both high- and low-moisture levels for different textures.
