Freeze dried asparagus in slice form, with its delicate texture and green colour preserved.
Pricing for private label, contract manufacturing and bulk supply is volume based.
Asparagus is a high value-added vegetable with a short season; because the harvest window is narrow, year-round availability in processed form is commercially valuable. Its delicate fibrous structure is decisive in the choice of drying method.
Freeze-drying preserves asparagus's sensitive texture and vivid green colour. While conventional drying turns the product fibrous and woody, the freeze dried form gives a mouthfeel close to fresh after rehydration.
Sliced form is used in gourmet ready meals, soups, risotto and pasta blends and outdoor food applications. It is a product positioned in the premium segment and is particularly in demand on the European market.
Rehydration time is slightly longer than other vegetables depending on fibre density; this should be taken into account in ready-meal recipes.
