OEM-Ready Banana Dices with Reliable Lead Times

Flowable Freeze-Dried Banana Dices — Clean-Label Cubes for Cereal & Snacks

How do flowable freeze-dried banana dices improve clean-label formulations without added sugar?

Flowable freeze-dried banana dices deliver uniform cube size, crisp texture and true banana aroma for cereals, granola clusters, trail mixes and bakery toppers—without syruping or stickiness that slows dosing equipment. Low-temperature vacuum drying preserves color and flavor while keeping moisture low, so the cubes blend cleanly with nuts, grains and inclusions and rehydrate quickly in dairy or beverage systems. 

What purchase checks matter when approving flowable freeze-dried banana dices?

• Ingredient: 100% ripe bananas; no additives. 

• Cut / Size: Dices typically 5×5×5 mm; other options 8×8×8 and 10×10×10 mm on request. 

• Moisture: ≤5% target for stability and flow. 

• Color & Aroma: Pale yellow–golden, characteristic banana aroma. 

• Shelf life: 18–24 months under cool, dry, shaded storage. 

• Micro (typical limits): TPC ≤50,000 CFU/g; Yeast & Mold ≤500 CFU/g; Coliforms ≤500 MPN/g; pathogens negative in 25 g. 

• Bulk density: ~0.12–0.35 g/cm³ (useful for pallet planning and dose weight). 

• Certifications: BRC, FDA, HACCP, ISO, Halal, Kosher (docs available). 

• Origin & supply: China; self-owned/contracted farms; OEM/private label supported. 

• MOQ: 300 kg; mixed loads with other FD fruits supported. 

• Lead time: typically 7–14 working days depending on order size (some listings note 15–25 days—confirm in PI). 

• Packaging: Inner double-PE or aluminum-foil bags, outer five-layer export carton; common bulk is 2 × 5 kg per carton; nitrogen flush optional.

Buyer tip: request lot-specific COA (moisture, micro, pesticide screen) and packing photos before production approval.

FAQ

Q1 — Can we get samples for R&D? Who covers courier costs?
Yes. Evaluation samples (e.g., 100–300 g) are available; buyers typically cover express freight, which can sometimes be credited on the first PO—confirm in your quotation. 

Q2 — Are you the manufacturer? What factory evidence should we verify?
Ask for freeze-dry line photos/videos, recent BRC/HACCP/ISO audit reports, batch COAs, and the retention-sample policy. The page outlines in-house processing, traceability and export-grade QC. 

Q3 — Do you quote FOB or CIF, and which is better for a launch?
Both. Choose FOB if you prefer your own forwarder and full freight control; choose CIF if you want the supplier to arrange ocean freight and insurance. Request both quotes to compare landed cost; LCL/mixed loads help when piloting multiple SKUs. 

Q4 — What documents accompany shipments?
Standard pack includes COA, microbiology report, packing list, commercial invoice and certification copies as needed for customs/retailer onboarding. 

Q5 — How do you minimize cube breakage and color fade?
Specify foil liners, adequate headspace, tray inserts, and (if needed) nitrogen flush; request UV-blocking outer cartons for longer routes. Packing trials can be arranged for fragile blends. 

Q6 — What applications fit 5×5×5 vs 8×8×8 or 10×10×10 mm?
Use 5×5×5 mm for cereal flowability and uniform dosing; 8–10 mm for premium visual identity in snacks and bakery toppers; powders or granules can be added for flavor rounding.
