Where FD Ingredients Work Best
From snacks to beverages, bakery to ready meals—discover how FD Planet fits your product line.
Snacks & On-the-Go
Freeze-dried fruits and vegetables are lightweight, crunchy, and naturally sweet or savory, making them ideal for healthy snacking. They are used in single-serve pouches, resealable family packs, or multi-flavor medleys. Perfect for kids’ lunchboxes, office snacks, and travel packs, these products appeal to modern consumers who value both convenience and nutrition.
Formats: whole, slices, chips, vegetable crisps
Examples: strawberry whole, mango slices, pineapple chips, okra crisps
Bakery & Desserts
FD ingredients retain vivid colors and concentrated flavors, making them popular in cakes, cookies, pastries, and dessert toppings. Fruit dices or powders are often used in doughs, fillings, and frostings, while slices can serve as decorative toppings. Because of their low water activity, they integrate seamlessly without altering texture.
Formats: dices, flakes, powders
Examples: apple dices for muffins, raspberry powder for frosting, banana flakes for cookies
Chocolate & Confectionery
Freeze-dried whole berries are perfect for chocolate enrobing, creating premium snacks with vibrant texture contrast. Powders and micro-dices are used in pralines, truffles, and chewy candies for both flavor and color. FD fruits elevate confectionery into the premium and gifting category.
Formats: whole berries, micro-dices, powders
Examples: chocolate-coated strawberries, yogurt berry bites, strawberry powder-filled pralines
Beverages & Smoothies
FD powders and small cuts dissolve quickly, making them perfect for instant drinks, tea bags, smoothie bases, and RTD (ready-to-drink) applications. They provide natural color, aroma, and nutrition without artificial additives. Popular in health beverages and functional blends.
Formats: fine powders, granules, small dices
Examples: beetroot powder for juices, lemon granules for tea, berry powder for smoothies
Dairy & Ice Cream
D fruits add color, crunch, and flavor to yogurts, dairy drinks, and ice creams. Unlike AD ingredients, FD inclusions stay crisp and bright in frozen environments. Widely used in premium ice cream brands for variegates and inclusions.
Formats: inclusions, crumbs, flakes
Examples: strawberry ripples in ice cream, mango bits in yogurt
Cereals & Bars
FD dices and clusters release strong flavor and provide visual appeal in granola, muesli, protein bars, and kids’ cereals. They are lightweight, nutritious, and process-friendly.
Formats: dices, clusters, slices
Examples: apple dices in granola, pineapple bits in cereal, berry mixes in protein bars
Sauces, Soups & Ready Meals
FD vegetables rehydrate quickly and bring natural taste to soups, sauces, instant noodles, and ready meals. They provide consistency and convenience for industrial food production.
Formats: dices, strips, powders
Examples: onion powder for sauces, carrot dices for soups, mixed vegetables for instant noodles
Outdoor & Emergency
Lightweight and shelf-stable FD foods are perfect for camping, hiking, military rations, and emergency kits. Easy to carry, quick to prepare, and nutritionally balanced.
Formats: mixed packs, meal kits
Examples: instant vegetable soup packs, freeze-dried fruit snacks for hiking
