Freeze Dried Blackberries

Freeze-dried blackberries are whole or sliced blackberries that have had most of their water removed through a process called freeze-drying. This method preserves the fruit's color, flavor, and nutrients while making it shelf-stable and lightweight.

Manufacturers use freeze-dried blackberries to add natural fruit flavor, color, and texture to a variety of foods. They are commonly found in cereals, baked goods like muffins and cookies, snack bars, and trail mixes.

Freeze-dried blackberries are generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA as a food ingredient. They retain the nutritional benefits of fresh blackberries, including fiber and antioxidants. International bodies like JECFA have evaluated many fruits and their components, and EFSA has also assessed them. Evidence suggests that consuming fruits like blackberries is part of a healthy diet.
