Bulk Pomegranate Fruit Powder Supplier — Freeze-Dried Whole-Fruit (Punica granatum) & Spray-Dried Juice, USDA & EU Organic Available, B2B Wholesale

Written by Jonathan, Valeherb · Reviewed by Dr. Xiaoyan Qiu · Updated June 2026

Valeherb supplies pomegranate powder (also called pomegranate fruit powder, Punica granatum) in bulk wholesale, made from 100% real pomegranate — the edible arils and juice, not the peel and not a synthetic flavour. Two grades are available: a freeze-dried whole-fruit powder (Organic available) and a spray-dried juice powder with maltodextrin. Below: a quick-spec panel, the two grades side by side, the freeze-dried vs spray-dried decision, and full sourcing criteria.

Our Two Grades

The drying method is the main decision. It changes the colour, how much vitamin C and pigment survive, the texture, how it dissolves, and the label. Both grades start from real pomegranate. Only the freeze-dried grade is available organic.

Fruit, Peel, Extract, Seed: Which Pomegranate Powder?

“Pomegranate powder” is sold in several very different forms, and they are not interchangeable. Here is how they sort out.

• Fruit / aril powder. The edible part of the fruit, dried and milled. This is what we sell. “Pomegranate fruit powder” and “pomegranate powder” usually mean this.
• Juice powder. The pressed juice dried onto a carrier. We make this too.
• Peel / rind / husk / skin powder — a different product. Made from the skin, not the fruit. It is very high in tannins and is mostly used in cosmetics and traditional topical products. If you searched pomegranate peel powder or rind/husk powder, that is not what we supply.
• Extract powder. A concentrated form, often standardized to ellagic acid or punicalagins. That is a different, processed product — we sell food-grade fruit and juice powder, not extracts.
• Seed powder. Made from the crushed seeds. We sell whole-fruit and juice powder from the arils.

Drying Method & Nutrient Retention

For a fruit powder, the drying method — not a standardized assay — is what most affects quality, so it is worth specifying on purpose. The red comes from anthocyanins,^[1] which are sensitive to heat, light, and pH. Our freeze-dried grade dries the whole fruit at low temperature with no carrier, so it keeps the colour and the vitamin C closest to fresh. Pomegranate juice is high in sugar and acid and won’t dry into a free-flowing powder on its own, so the spray-dried juice grade uses a maltodextrin carrier, which actually helps hold the red colour and anthocyanins through drying.^[2] Both grades keep their colour and vitamin C best when stored cool, dark, and dry.

Nutritional Composition (Naturally Occurring)

As a whole-fruit powder, pomegranate powder carries the fruit’s natural parts. Levels move with cultivar, ripeness, season, and drying method, so the list below describes what the fruit naturally contains rather than guaranteed standardized values.

• Anthocyanins — the red pigments of the arils and juice (delphinidin, cyanidin, and pelargonidin glucosides), which also work as a colour contribution^[1]
• Vitamin C — naturally present and best kept in the freeze-dried grade
• Ellagitannins & ellagic acid — naturally occurring polyphenols of the fruit; most concentrated in the peel, with some in the arils and juice^[1]
• Potassium — naturally present in the whole fruit

Sourcing & QC Criteria

Regulatory Guidance

• United States: pomegranate is an established food — food use for food applications, and DSHEA for supplements. Organic grades require USDA NOP certification covering the raw fruit and the processing facility. FDA-registered facility (21 CFR Part 111) for supplement supply
• European Union: established food use (not a novel food); organic grades require EU Organic certification (EU 2018/848). For cosmetic use, the INCI sits under Punica granatum (e.g. Punica Granatum Fruit Extract) — confirm the exact INCI for the form
• China: pomegranate (shíliu) is a common, established food; supplied with full export documentation and organic certification where required
