What it is

Freeze-dried raspberries are whole or pieces of raspberries that have had most of their water removed through a process called freeze-drying. This method preserves the fruit's flavor, color, and nutrients while creating a light, crispy texture.

Why it's used

Manufacturers use freeze-dried raspberries to add a concentrated fruit flavor and a pleasing crunch to foods. They are commonly found in chocolate confections, candy, snack bars, and baked goods, where they provide a burst of tartness and fruitiness.

Health notes

Raspberries are a natural source of fiber, vitamins, and antioxidants. The FDA considers raspberries to be Generally Recognized As Safe (GRAS). International bodies like EFSA have evaluated raspberries as food ingredients. While generally considered healthy, excessive consumption of any food should be avoided.

Allergen info

Raspberries are not one of the 9 FDA major allergens. They do not contain gluten.
