Wholesale Premium Freeze Dried Kiwi Slices, Dices & Powder
As an established global B2B supplier and expert exporter of freeze-dried fruit raw materials, we supply high-grade Freeze Dried Kiwi products to food manufacturers, tea formulators, snack packers, and health supplement brands worldwide. Selected from GAP-certified orchards, fresh kiwifruits are harvested at optimal ripeness, washed, peeled, sliced or diced, and subjected to low-temperature vacuum freeze-drying. This specialized sublimation process removes moisture without compromising the fruit’s cellular structure, vibrant green color, signature tiny black seeds, or delicate tart-sweet flavor profile.
Unlike traditional candied, air-dried, or sulfur-treated kiwi slices that suffer from heavy sugar coating, dark brown discoloration, and tough chewy textures, our Freeze Dried Kiwi slices and dices feature a bright, natural emerald hue, light airy crunch, and 100% clean-label purity without added sugars, sulfur dioxide, or artificial preservatives.
Why Partner with Our Freeze Dried Kiwi Factory?
- 100% Clean Label & Pure Fruit: Zero added sugar, non-GMO, free of sulfur dioxide (SO2) bleaching agents, and zero artificial colors.
- Maximum Vitamin C & Nutrient Retention: Sub-zero sublimation preserves over 95% of fresh kiwi’s heat-sensitive Vitamin C, actinidin enzymes, and dietary fiber.
- Industrial Micro-Stability: Low moisture levels (≤ 3.0%) safeguard against enzymatic oxidation and microbial growth, guaranteeing a stable 2-year shelf life.
- Global Regulatory Compliance: Fully compliant with EU and US FDA pesticide residue and heavy metal regulations, certified under HACCP, BRCGS, ISO22000, KOSHER, and HALAL.
Versatile Commercial Applications Across Food Industries
Our commercial-grade Freeze Dried Kiwi ingredients offer high physical stability and vibrant aesthetic appeal, making them ideal for diverse industrial formulations:
- Breakfast Cereals & Granola Blends: FD kiwi 5x5mm or 10x10mm dices bring an eye-catching green color contrast and tangy flavor pop to premium oat mixes and muesli.
- Bakery & Confectionery: Whole FD kiwi slices serve as stunning natural toppers for cakes, tarts, and biscuits, or crushed into powders for natural green chocolate inclusions.
- Fruit Teas & Specialty Beverages: Whole or cut slices rehydrate quickly in cold or hot infusions, serving as visually striking garnishes for herbal teas and cocktail mixes.
- Dairy & Ice Cream Processing: Crunchy kiwi granules make fantastic toppings for frozen yogurt, ice cream, probiotic cups, and smoothie bowls.
- Healthy Retail Fruit Snacks: Re-packaged into stand-up pouches for single-ingredient, low-calorie, crisp retail fruit snacks.
Advanced Freeze-Drying Technology & Quality Control
We operate an automated, GMP-compliant processing facility to deliver consistent product quality across every production lot:
- Fresh Fruit Selection: Kiwifruits are hand-inspected for firmness, Brix level, and skin integrity to ensure uniform sweetness and color.
- Peeling & Washing: Automated mechanical peeling gently removes the rough outer skin without wasting nutrient-rich fruit pulp.
- Precision Cutting: High-precision slicers and dicers format the kiwi pulp into consistent thickness (4–7mm) or particle sizes.
- Deep Blast Freezing (-40°C): Rapid freezing solidifies moisture into micro-ice crystals, preventing tissue structure collapse.
- Vacuum Sublimation Drying: Ice is directly converted to water vapor under low vacuum pressure over 18 to 22 hours.
- Optical & Metal Inspection: Advanced color sorters and dual X-ray metal detectors eliminate physical debris and discolored pieces.
- Controlled Cleanroom Packaging: Sealed in double-layer barrier aluminum bags in a humidity-controlled clean room environment.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
A: Our baseline MOQ for standard bulk export cartons (10kg net) is 100 kg. For custom OEM private label retail pouches, the MOQ is generally 2,000 units depending on pouch specifications and print requirements.
A: Traditional dried kiwi slices are usually soaked in heavy sugar syrup, preserved with sulfur dioxide (SO2) to retain green color, and heat-dried into a tough, sticky slice. Our Freeze Dried Kiwi is 100% natural fruit with zero sugar or SO2 added, retaining its light crisp texture, bright green color, and original sour-sweet fruit profile.
A: Yes! We supply complimentary 100g–200g samples for corporate evaluation (freight collect or using your express account). A comprehensive factory COA is provided with every shipment, and third-party lab testing (SGS/Eurofins) can be arranged upon request.
A: Store unopened cartons in a cool, dark, dry warehouse below 25°C with relative humidity below 60%. Once inner bags are opened, reseal them tightly immediately to prevent ambient humidity absorption.
