Fruit & Herb Powders
In this category you will find all of our herb and fruit powders, including whole food powders, freeze dried powders and extracts. Many of these powders are absolutely brilliant to dissolve into hot water and enjoy as a herbal beverage, or to use in cooking and baking.
The naturally colourful powders, such as many of the fruit powders and Butterfly Pea Flower Powder, work wonderfully as natural colouring agents in baking cakes, cookies and breads, smoothies and lattes, as well as fancy cocktails. Some of the powders are great to add on top of breakfast meals like Oatmeal, Yoghurt, Flavoured Milk, Cereal and Granola to boost flavour and colour, or add a fruity twist to salad dressings!
Some other ideas
Baking Bread: hide vegetable powders to boost the nutritional content of your homemade bread, or add some fruit powder for some fun colour experiments. You may need to add a little extra moisture to account for the extra dry ingredients. Why not try boosting the intensity of the flavour, and increasing fibre by adding some Banana powder to your banana bread?
Pikelets, Pancakes, Crepes & Waffles: play with the colours of these items by adding different fruit powders for a fancy change.
Muffins & Scones: just like with the bread batter, boost your flavour intensity with some powders, or make fun colours for the kids (young and old) to enjoy!
Marshmallows: if you wanted to try making homemade Marshmallows, why not try a traditional recipe and use our Marshmallow powder. This is a whole food powder, which contains all of the natural parts of the root that is needed to gel up your mix (as a gelatin alternative), and you can flavour and colour the marshmallows using the herbal and fruit powders!
Icing and Frosting: this is an area that the powders REALLY shine, only needing a small amount to get a great pop of colour. It doesn't matter whether you are making a sugary glaze, buttercream icing, whipped cream, or whipped cream cheese frosting, the colours work beautifully and top off your baked delights with such fun.
Ice Cream: sprinkle freeze dried fruit powders on top of your ice cream to decorate and add flavour, or mix it through to increase the colour and flavour intensity.
We can trace written records of the use of medicinal plants back as far as ancient Sumeria, approximately 5000-years ago, and in traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) over 2000-years ago.
Botanical medicine is alive and well today, with more people discovering how powdered fruits and herbs can assist, complement, and support reaching nutritional goals, optimising health and physical performance.

What is fruit and herb powder?
Fruit and herb powders are made by drying or dehydrating medicinal and nutritional botanicals. This process can be achieved in various ways and preserves the dietary compounds within the herbs and fruits, allowing them to be stored for a long time without spoiling.
Sundried
As the name suggests, sundried herbs and fruits are placed in food-safe receptacles and dried using the power and heat of the sun. The earliest known practice of sun-drying foods, herbs, and spices date back to 12,000 BC by the inhabitants of what is now the Middle East and Asia.
Air-dried
A dehydrator is a machine that uses warm air to slowly remove the water and moisture from botanical matter, like herbs and fruits. The length of time this process takes can vary depending on the botanical's moisture content.
Freeze-dried
Freeze-drying, technically called lyophilisation or cryodesiccation, is a dehydration process that involves fast-freezing the botanical matter. The pressure of the frozen material is lowered, and the ice, which holds the botanicals moisture, is removed via a sublimation process.
Once the water and moisture have been removed from the botanicals, the nutrients, fibre, and nutritional contents are intact. The dried herbs and fruits can then be pulverised into nutritious powders.
Traditionally this may be achieved by a grinding stone or mortar and pestle; however, today, store-bought fruit and herb powders are usually pulverised using machinery to speed up the process and provide consistency.
These colourful and nutrition-packed powders can promote health and provide supplementary nutrition by being ingested orally by adding to food and beverages.
These powders can also be used to add colour and flavours to foods using a more nutritional, less processed source instead of potentially harmful or nutrient-void artificial colours and flavours.
