Harvesting and Sorting: Ripe cherries are harvested from orchards during the peak season when they are at their optimal flavor and nutritional content. The cherries are carefully sorted to remove any damaged or unripe fruits.
Washing: The cherries are thoroughly washed to remove any dirt, debris, or pesticides.
Pitting: The cherries are pitted to remove the seeds, as they are not desired in the final powder.
Freezing: The pitted cherries are then placed in a freezer where they are rapidly frozen at very low temperatures. Freezing helps to preserve the cherries’ natural flavor, color, and nutrients.
Freeze-Drying: The frozen cherries are transferred to a freeze-drying chamber. Through a process called sublimation, the frozen water content directly into vapor without passing through the liquid phase, effectively removing moisture from the cherries.
Vacuum and Low Temperature: This combination of vacuum and low temperature allows the moisture to evaporate from the cherries without causing damage to their structure or flavor.
Grinding and Sieving: Once the freeze-drying process is complete, the dried cherries are ground into a fine powder. The powder is then sieved to remove any large particles or impurities, ensuring a smooth and uniform texture.
Freeze-Dried Cherry Powder’s versatility allows it to be used in a wide range of food and beverage applications, including smoothies, desserts, baked goods, sauces, and dressings!
