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

International bodies like EFSA have evaluated raspberries as food ingredients. While generally considered healthy, excessive consumption of any food should be avoided.
Allergen info
