Freeze-dried pitaya
Pitaya - the famous dragon fruit - is first of all a visual shock: that magenta flesh dotted with little black seeds. Freeze-dried, it is the whole fruit concentrated and nothing else: it is frozen, then its water is removed cold (the fresh fruit contains nearly 85%), without any cooking. The colour, the crunch and the mild flavour are kept, with no added sugar or additives. In concrete terms, it is a snack to crunch as is or to scatter over a bowl for colour. And if you want to compare with the other flavours, here is our range of freeze-dried fruits.
We are pleased to offer you freeze-dried pitayas in small pieces in a resealable 200g bag, which were first harvested at maturity in Vietnam, to guarantee mild, slightly sweet flesh.
After the success of our other freeze-dried fruits, we wanted to offer you other varieties of tropical fruit. We were won over by the intense fruit flavour this partner offers us; they are the best we have been able to taste so far! A real sweet with a concentrated fruit taste.
The fruits are grown in a climate suited to their growth (exotic fruits) and above all, they are picked at full maturity just before being freeze-dried. That is the guarantee of a quality product. Our supplier is not organic-certified, but the growing is organic and the fruits are certified "pesticide residue-free". Freeze-dried, the pitayas keep their vivid colour and natural flavour, with no added sugar or additives.
Discover the unique taste of pitayas (or dragon fruit) in a crunchy version! A delicious alternative to sweets for children - and for grown-ups too.
The freeze-drying technique, which appeared in France at the beginning of the 20th century, dries food by sublimation: the product is first deep-frozen, before its water is evaporated under vacuum. In this way, the water passes directly from a solid to a gaseous state without passing through the liquid state! Because no heat is involved, freeze-drying preserves the volume and appearance of the food.
A spoonful of pitaya on a porridge or a raw cheesecake, and breakfast takes on a new look. There you go. If you are hesitating between our varieties, I have detailed everything in our complete guide to freeze-dried fruits.
❄️ How do you eat freeze-dried pitayas?
As their taste is particularly concentrated, you can add them in small quantities to your plant-based recipes. They will also add intense, fruity aromas to your home-made kefir and kombucha drinks ! You can also enjoy them as they are as a snack, or add them to mueslis, granolas or fruit salads. They are also perfect to add to smoothies for an exotic note, or as an infusion after rehydrating for a mild, fruity taste.❄️ Also find in this video the principles of freeze-drying explained by Miguel Barthelery:
In concrete terms, we love pitaya first for its spectacular look - but what does it really provide? Let us be precise, and honest.
1. Natural pigments: betalains
Red-fleshed pitaya gets its magenta colour from natural pigments, betalains. These compounds are the subject of research, but let us remain cautious: to date, no health claim is validated for them. What we can say is that they are at the heart of the fruit's natural profile - and of its incomparable look in a bowl.
2. One of the least sugary in the range
Here is a point I like: with 30 g of sugars per 100 g, freeze-dried pitaya is about half as sugary as our freeze-dried lychee (60 g). It is still a concentrated fruit, and therefore a treat - but it is one of the lowest in sugar among our freeze-dried fruits.
3. Crunchy seeds
Pitaya is one of the rare fruits whose seeds you also eat: those little black dots add crunch. Like any fruit, it contributes to the variety of your diet.
4. A snack with no added sugar or additives
No added sugar, no additives, no colouring: that colour is 100% the fruit. For my part, it is the piece I put on a porridge when I want breakfast to pop visually - and the children to leave the industrial sweets alone.
5. Easy to add to your daily routine
The simplest is still to enjoy it as is, or to scatter it over a plant-based yoghurt, a bowl or a granola. A small handful is enough: the taste is concentrated, and so is the colour.

Does freeze-dried pitaya contain added sugar?
No. Our freeze-dried pitayas are 100% pitaya, with no added sugar, no additives and no colouring. The 30 g of sugars per 100 g are solely the fruit's natural sugars, concentrated by the removal of water. It is in fact one of the lowest-sugar fruits in our freeze-dried range.
How do you eat freeze-dried pitaya?
You can crunch it as is as a snack, scatter it over a plant-based yoghurt, a bowl, a porridge or a granola, add it to a smoothie, or leave it to infuse in a home-made water kefir or kombucha. Rehydrated for a few minutes, it regains a softer texture. A small handful is enough, as its taste and colour are concentrated.
Why is freeze-dried pitaya bright pink?
This magenta colour comes from betalains, pigments naturally present in the red flesh of the dragon fruit. As freeze-drying removes the water cold, without cooking, it preserves the fruit's original colour. No colouring is added: the shade you see is 100% the pitaya.
Is freeze-dried pitaya organic?
Our Vietnamese supplier is not organic-certified, but the growing is organic and the fruits are certified "pesticide residue-free". We have chosen transparency: a quality tropical growing region, fruit picked at maturity, and a partner committed to international standards (ISO 22000, HACCP, IFS).
How do you store a bag of freeze-dried pitaya?
Keep the bag at room temperature, away from light and heat. The 200 g format is resealable: remember to reseal it well after opening to preserve the crunch, as freeze-dried fruit easily takes up moisture from the air.
