Bulk Strawberry Powder Supplier — Freeze-Dried Whole-Fruit & Spray-Dried, USDA & EU Organic Available, B2B Wholesale

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

Valeherb supplies strawberry fruit powder (Fragaria × ananassa) in bulk wholesale, made from 100% real strawberries — not flavouring. Two grades are available: a freeze-dried whole-fruit powder (Organic available) and a spray-dried 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.

Botanical source Fragaria × ananassa — whole ripe fruit
Two grades Freeze-dried whole-fruit (fine / coarse) · Spray-dried (with maltodextrin)
Organic USDA NOP & EU Organic available — freeze-dried grades only
Colour Natural red-pink
Flavour Sweet-tart, true strawberry
Mesh Fine & coarse; standard and custom mesh available
Origin / MOQ China & MOQ 1kg
Best for Supplements & sachets, bars & cereals, beverages & drink mixes, dairy, natural colour & flavour
SUPPLIER NOTE
This is a whole-fruit food ingredient made from real strawberries — not a synthetic strawberry flavour, not a standardized extract, and not a finished supplement. The values below are representative of the natural fruit and vary by cultivar, ripeness, season, and drying method.

Our Two Grades

The drying method is the core decision — it changes colour, vitamin and polyphenol retention, texture, solubility, and label. Both grades are made from real strawberries and both are available certified organic.

Freeze-Dried Whole-Fruit Powder Spray-Dried Powder
Made from Whole ripe strawberries Strawberry juice/puree
Carrier None — 100% fruit Contains maltodextrin carrier
Mesh options Fine (powder) or coarse (visible fruit pieces) Fine, free-flowing
Colour & flavour Strongest natural red-pink colour and true strawberry flavour Red-pink; clean flavour, paler than freeze-dried
Vitamin C & polyphenols Highest retention — closest to fresh fruit on a dry-matter basis Lower retention than freeze-dried
Solubility Disperses in cold water; some natural fruit fibre Readily cold-water soluble; smooth dispersion
Organic USDA NOP & EU Organic available Conventional only
Single-ingredient label Yes — 100% strawberry No — maltodextrin is declared
Choose freeze-dried whole-fruit if…you want the strongest colour and flavour, the highest vitamin-C and polyphenol retention, a single-ingredient 100%-fruit label, or coarse pieces for visible fruit in bars and cereals.
Choose spray-dried if…you need fast, smooth, lump-free dispersion for beverages and drink mixes and want cost efficiency at volume (maltodextrin will appear on the label).

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 deliberately. Published comparisons of strawberry powders found that freeze-dried material retains vitamin C and polyphenols closest to fresh fruit on a dry-matter basis, while convective- and spray-dried powders showed vitamin-C reductions of roughly 55–80% and polyphenol reductions up to about 80%.[1] Freeze-drying has also been shown to better preserve microstructure, flowability, and anthocyanin (red-pink pigment) content versus heat drying.[2] That is why the freeze-dried grade is the choice where colour, flavour, and nutrient retention matter most, and the spray-dried grade is chosen for dispersion and cost.

Nutritional Composition (Naturally Occurring)

As a whole-fruit powder, strawberry powder concentrates the fruit's natural constituents. Exact levels vary with cultivar, ripeness, season, and drying method, so the following describes what strawberries naturally contain rather than guaranteed standardized values.

  • Vitamin C — naturally present and well retained in freeze-dried powder; reduced by heat/spray processing[1]
  • Anthocyanins — mainly pelargonidin-3-glucoside, the natural red-pink pigment that also functions as a colour contribution
  • Ellagic acid & total polyphenols — naturally occurring antioxidant compounds of the whole-fruit matrix
  • Dietary fibre and minerals (notably potassium and magnesium) — naturally present; fibre is higher in the whole-fruit freeze-dried grade
FORMULATOR TIP
If colour, flavour, and vitamin retention drive your spec, the freeze-dried grade delivers the most per gram and supports a clean single-ingredient label. If you need a free-flowing base that dissolves smoothly in beverages, the spray-dried grade is easier to work with. Anthocyanin colour is most stable in mildly acidic, low-heat, low-light conditions — confirm your process pH and thermal load before setting an inclusion rate.

Applications by Category

  • Supplements, capsules, tablets & sachets: freeze-dried fine powder (organic grade common) for a vitamin-C-rich whole-fruit ingredient; pairs with acerola, rosehip, and other fruit powders in clean-label blends
  • Bars, cereals & bakery: freeze-dried coarse powder for visible fruit pieces, real strawberry colour, and authentic flavour in inclusions, granola, and baked goods
  • Functional beverages, smoothie & drink mixes: spray-dried powder for fast, lump-free cold-water dispersion and natural pink colour
  • Dairy & frozen: yogurt, ice cream, and plant-based formats wanting natural strawberry colour and flavour
  • Natural colour & flavour: anthocyanin-rich freeze-dried powder as a clean-label colour-and-flavour contribution where regulations permit
  • Nutricosmetic / beauty: high-polyphenol fruit powder for beauty-from-within blends and natural-colour cosmetic formats

Sourcing & QC Criteria

Parameter What to verify Why it matters
Grade & carrier Freeze-dried (100% fruit, no carrier) vs spray-dried (maltodextrin declared) Determines colour, retention, solubility, and label — single-ingredient vs declared carrier
Drying method Lyophilization vs spray vs convective — documented Directly drives vitamin-C, polyphenol, and anthocyanin retention
Organic certification USDA NOP and/or EU Organic (EU 2018/848) covering both the fruit and the processing facility; for spray-dried organic, an organic-compliant carrier Both the source and processing (and carrier) must be certified for an organic claim
Composition Vitamin C and total anthocyanin/polyphenol values per lot, if needed for your spec Confirms retention and supports your own claim substantiation
Microbiology & heavy metals TPC, yeast & mould, E. coli, Salmonella; ICP-MS (Pb, As, Cd, Hg) per batch Core food-grade requirements for a low-process fruit powder
Pesticides Multi-residue screen for conventional grades; organic grades controlled via certification audit Market-entry requirement for EU/US/Japan

Regulatory Guidance

  • United States: Strawberry is an established whole-food ingredient — food use for food applications, and DSHEA for supplements. Organic grades require USDA NOP certification covering raw fruit and the processing facility. FDA-registered facility (21 CFR Part 111) for supplement supply
  • European Union: Established food use; organic grades require EU Organic certification (EU 2018/848). INCI for cosmetic use: Fragaria Ananassa (Strawberry) Fruit Powder
  • China: Listed food ingredient; export documentation available, with organic certification provided where required

FAQ

A1:Strawberry powder is real strawberries (Fragaria × ananassa) dried and milled into a powder — not a synthetic strawberry flavour and not an extract. It has a natural red-pink colour from anthocyanin pigments and a sweet-tart, true strawberry taste. Valeherb supplies it in two grades, freeze-dried whole-fruit and spray-dried, both available certified organic.
A2:The freeze-dried whole-fruit powder is made from whole strawberries, contains no carrier, has the strongest colour and flavour, and retains the most vitamin C and polyphenols — and it can be declared as a single ingredient. It comes fine (for powders and capsules) or coarse (for visible fruit pieces in bars and cereals). The spray-dried powder is made from strawberry juice/puree with a maltodextrin carrier, dissolves smoothly for beverages and drink mixes, and is more cost-efficient at volume, but the maltodextrin is declared on the label.
A3:Yes. Both the freeze-dried and spray-dried grades are available with USDA NOP and EU Organic certification. For an organic claim, the certification covers both the source fruit and the processing facility; the spray-dried organic grade uses an organic-compliant carrier. Chain-of-custody documentation is provided per lot.
A4:Yes. Published comparisons of strawberry powders found freeze-dried material retains vitamin C and polyphenols closest to fresh fruit on a dry-matter basis, while convective- and spray-dried powders showed substantially lower vitamin-C and polyphenol levels. Freeze-drying also better preserves the red-pink anthocyanin colour. If maximum nutrient and colour retention is the priority, choose the freeze-dried grade.
