Vibrant green freeze-dried kiwi dices are uniformly cut kiwi cubes produced by low-temperature vacuum freeze-drying to lock in vivid green color, concentrated aroma and natural nutrients. These lightweight dices deliver bright visual impact and authentic kiwi flavor in cereals, granola, snack mixes, yogurt/ice-cream toppings and instant beverages — while avoiding stickiness or added sugars that slow processing lines. Use whole dices for visible inclusions or crush them into blends for uniform flavor distribution.

Q1 — Can I order samples for R&D? Who pays the courier?
Yes — most manufacturers provide small evaluation samples (commonly 100–300 g). Typical practice is the buyer pays express freight; many suppliers will credit or refund the courier cost against the first paid order if agreed up front. Always ask your sales rep to confirm sample policy in writing.
Q2 — Are you a manufacturer or a trader — what factory proof should I request?
Prefer factory-direct partners. Ask for: photos or video of IQF and freeze-dry lines, recent third-party audit reports (BRC/ISO/HACCP), batch COA templates, retention-sample policy and production capacity figures. These documents prove traceability and help speed retailer audits.
Q3 — What trade terms do you quote — FOB or CIF — and which should I choose?
Suppliers typically offer both FOB (you nominate forwarder) and CIF (seller arranges freight + insurance). For first orders request both quotes to compare landed cost; for pilots consider LCL or mixed-container consolidation to reduce freight per SKU.
Q4 — What documentation will be provided with shipment?
Standard pack typically includes COA, microbiology report, packing list and commercial invoice. Certification copies (BRC, HACCP, FDA, Halal/Kosher) are available for importer/retailer onboarding — request scanned certs before shipment.
