Export-Ready Freeze-Dried Whole Blueberries

Export-Grade Whole Freeze-Dried Blueberries — Premium Whole Berry Ingredient

Why source export-grade whole freeze-dried blueberries for premium product lines?

Export-grade whole freeze-dried blueberries are intact berries processed by low-temperature vacuum sublimation to preserve their shape, deep blue color, and concentrated aroma. This whole-berry format delivers strong visual appeal and mouthfeel in snacks, cereals, confectionery toppers and premium retail sachets while lowering freight cost per fruit unit. Carefully sorted and packaged for export, these berries are built for B2B buyers who need traceable specs, consistent batches and audit-ready documentation.

FAQ

Q1 — Can I get samples for evaluation and who pays shipping?
Yes — sample requests are supported (common sizes 100–300 g). Many suppliers provide product samples while buyers cover express shipping; sometimes express freight is credited against the first paid PO — confirm the exact sample policy in writing. 

Q2 — Are you a manufacturer or a trading company? What factory evidence should I request?
Ask for factory photos or video of the freeze-dry lines, recent audit reports (BRC / ISO / HACCP), the production flow (IQF → freeze-dry → sorting → packing), and the retention-sample policy. The factory description on the page highlights in-house processing, GAP-compliant sourcing and full QC regimes. 

Q3 — Which trade terms do you offer — FOB or CIF — and which should I choose?
Both FOB and CIF are typically available. Choose FOB if you have a preferred forwarder and want freight control; choose CIF if you prefer the supplier to handle ocean freight and insurance. Request both quotes to compare landed cost. 

Q4 — What documents come with the shipment?
Standard export documentation: COA, microbiology report, packing list, commercial invoice and certification copies on request (these are essential for customs and retailer acceptance). 

Q5 — How do you protect whole berries from breakage and color loss in transit?
Options include tray inserts, reduced carton fill, thicker foil liners, nitrogen flushing and UV-blocking outer cartons. Ask for packing trials and simulated transit reports if breakage is a critical KPI.
