Factory-Grade Whole Strawberries for Clean-Label Lines

Intact Whole Freeze-Dried Strawberries — Premium Visual Inclusions for Food Brands

Why select intact whole freeze-dried strawberries for premium visual impact?

Intact whole freeze-dried strawberries give manufacturers a striking, true-to-fruit appearance with concentrated aroma and a crisp bite, ideal for snack pouches, cereal clusters, confectionery toppers and bakery finishing. Low-temperature vacuum drying protects color and flavor while keeping weight low for efficient shipping, and the whole-piece format lets you deliver an authentic fruit look without added sugar or preservatives.

FAQ

Q1 — Can we get samples for R&D? Who pays courier?
Yes. Sample packs (e.g., 100–300 g) are commonly arranged for formulation checks; buyers typically cover express freight, which can sometimes be credited on the first PO—confirm in the quotation.

Q2 — Are you the manufacturer? What factory proof should we request?
Request photos/videos of FD lines, a recent BRC/ISO/HACCP audit report, batch COAs, and details of retention-sample policy. The page shows direct factory/OEM capability with farm-level sourcing and full spec support. 

Q3 — Do you quote FOB or CIF? Which is better for us?
Both are typically available. Ask for FOB (you control freight) and CIF (seller handles freight + insurance) to compare landed cost and lead-time. For smaller launches, consolidate SKUs in one container to lower cost per item.

Q4 — What documentation will we receive with the shipment?
Expect COA + microbiology results, packing list, commercial invoice, and certification copies as needed for customs/retailer onboarding. Specs and cert availability are indicated on the page.
