Raspberry Powder

Raspberry powder is made from dried raspberries that have been ground into a fine powder. The drying process, often freeze-drying or spray-drying, helps to preserve the fruit's flavor, color, and nutrients. It offers a concentrated form of raspberry taste and aroma.

Manufacturers use raspberry powder primarily as a natural flavoring and coloring agent. It adds a distinct raspberry taste and a pinkish-red hue to a variety of foods. Common applications include baked goods, confectionery, dairy products, beverages, and snack items.

Raspberry powder is generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA when used as a food ingredient. It is a source of fiber and antioxidants, like other fruit-derived ingredients. International bodies like JECFA have evaluated many food ingredients, and EFSA also assesses food additives. No specific health concerns are associated with typical consumption levels of raspberry powder.
