Production & Sourcing
Source86 sources strawberry powder from established fruit processors in China, Turkey, Egypt and India. Sourcing across Asian, Middle Eastern and North African origins supports year-round availability and reduces dependency on any single region or harvest.
How It’s Produced
- Selection and Preparation: Ripe strawberries (fresh or IQF) are selected, de-stemmed and washed.
- Preparation: Fruit is frozen for freeze-drying, or pressed and filtered into juice for spray-drying.
- Drying:
- Freeze-dried: frozen fruit is dried under vacuum at low temperature.
- Spray-dried: juice is blended with a maltodextrin carrier and atomized into hot air.
- Milling and Sieving: Dried material is milled and sieved to the specified mesh.
- Testing and Packaging: Each lot is tested against specification and sealed in moisture-barrier packaging.
Harvest & Supply Availability
Strawberry harvests run from late winter to early summer across China, Turkey and Egypt, with staggered timing by region. Processors freeze fruit at harvest (IQF) and dry it through the year, so bulk powder is available year-round.
