Details

Whip up healthy, energizing smoothies and bowls to help your customers jumpstart their morning or beat the afternoon slump with this Pitaya Foods 20 lb. IQF organic dragon fruit snack-sized pieces. Dragon fruit is a superfruit that is indigenous to Central and South America and is rich in vitamins, minerals, and antioxidants to help support healthy digestion, a strong immune system, and sustained energy levels. Featuring a mildly sweet flavor and a beautiful hot pink hue, you can use these dragon fruit pieces to add a vibrant color to your healthy menu offerings. They are a perfect addition to virtually any smoothie and are also great for making smoothie bowls topped with sliced fruits, housemade granolas, coconut shavings, chia seeds, and other tasty toppings!

These pieces can also be used to create an assortment of frozen vegan treats. Puree the dragon fruit with water or milk alternatives and create a versatile ingredient that can be turned into multiple menu options. Use to create raw vegan cheesecakes with a raw granola base, and decorate with various fruits and edible flowers. The puree can also be used for sorbet ice cream, ice cream bars, popsicles, and made-to-order dragon fruit and chia puddings! The possibilities are truly endless with these IQF dragon fruit pieces.

Harvested at the peak of ripeness, these versatile dragon fruit pieces are then conveniently pre-cut and individually frozen to maintain their freshness at their best form. When fruits are first picked, they start to lose their nutritional value, and freezing in masses lumps the fruit together. Using the IQF method prevents this from happening, and instead keeps the fruit's flavor, structure, nutritional benefits, and natural appearance intact, letting your dishes look and taste their best every time. Thanks to their preservation, the dragon fruit tastes deliciously fresh; customers will never guess they were actually frozen!
