Sosa Freeze Dried Strawberry Powder 250g

Freeze Dried Strawberry Powder

Sosa Freeze Dried Strawberry Powder 250g delivers the concentrated colour and flavour of strawberries in a fine, easy-to-use powder. Made using freeze-dried fruit, it captures the naturally sweet, tangy character of strawberry while allowing flavour to be added without introducing the extra liquid associated with fresh fruit or fruit purée.

This makes strawberry powder particularly useful for precision patisserie and baking, where maintaining the consistency of creams, ganaches, meringues and chocolate preparations matters. It can also be incorporated into ice cream, gelatine, sponge cakes and coatings, with the quantity adjusted depending on the intensity of strawberry flavour required.

• 250g pack.
• Freeze-dried strawberry in a convenient powdered format.

• Bake a strawberry sponge cake using approximately 100g of powder per kilogram of mixture, then layer with vanilla cream and fresh berries.
• Make strawberry ice cream by incorporating approximately 50g of powder per kilogram for concentrated fruit flavour and colour throughout the finished ice cream.

Why is freeze-dried strawberry powder useful in chocolate and ganache?

Chocolate-based preparations can be sensitive to additional water. Freeze-dried powder introduces concentrated strawberry flavour without the amount of moisture found in fresh fruit or purée, making it particularly useful when working with chocolate, ganache and cocoa butter.

How does freeze-drying preserve strawberry flavour?

Freeze-drying removes moisture from frozen fruit under low pressure rather than relying on conventional high-temperature drying. This helps retain much of the fruit’s characteristic flavour, aroma and colour while producing a lightweight ingredient that can be milled into powder.

Can you adjust the amount of Sosa Strawberry Powder in a recipe?

Yes. Sosa provides recommended application dosages as useful starting points, but the quantity can be adjusted according to the recipe and desired intensity. Bear in mind that larger quantities of a dry powder can also affect the consistency of a preparation.
