Freeze-dried pitaya
Pitaya - the famous dragon fruit - is first and foremost a visual shock: this magenta flesh speckled with small black seeds. Freeze-dried, it's the whole fruit concentrated and nothing else: it is frozen, then its water is removed cold (the fresh fruit contains nearly 85% water), without any cooking. The color, crunch, and sweet flavor are preserved., without added sugar or additives. Specifically, it's a snack to munch on as is or to sprinkle on a bowl for color. And if you want to compare with other flavors, here is our range of freeze-dried fruits.
We are pleased to offer you freeze-dried pitaya pieces in a resealable 200g pouch, which have been previously harvested at maturity in Vietnam, to ensure a tender, slightly sweet flesh rich in nutrients.
After the success of our other freeze-dried fruits, we wanted to offer you more varieties of tropical fruits. We were won over by the intense fruit flavor that this partner offers us; they are the best we've tasted so far! A real candy with a concentrated fruit taste, just like its benefits.
The fruits are grown in a climate conducive to their growth (exotic fruits) and, most importantly, they are picked at full maturity just before being freeze-dried. This ensures a quality product. Our supplier is not certified organic, but the cultivation is, and the fruits are certified "pesticide residue-free." Freeze-dried, Pitayas retain their vibrant color, natural flavor, and essential antioxidants, without added sugar or additives.
Discover the uniquely delicious taste of pitayas (or dragon fruits) in a crunchy version! A healthy alternative to candy for children - and adults alike.
The technique of freeze-drying, which appeared in France at the beginning of the 20th century, dries food through sublimation: the product is first frozen, then its water is evaporated under vacuum. Thus, the water goes directly from a solid to a gaseous state without passing through the liquid state! Because there is no heat involved, Freeze-drying preserves the volume, appearance, and essential nutrients of the food.
A spoonful of pitaya on porridge or a raw cheesecake, and breakfast takes on a new look. There you go. If you're hesitating between our varieties, I've detailed everything in our Complete guide to freeze-dried fruits.
❄️ How to consume freeze-dried pitayas ?
Since their flavor is particularly concentrated, you can incorporate them in small quantities into your plant-based recipes. They will also add intense and fruity aromas to your homemade 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 integrate in smoothies for an exotic touch, or else in infusion after rehydration for a sweet and fruity taste.

❄️ Also find in this video the principles of lyophilization explained by Miguel Barthelery:Specifically, we love pitaya first for its spectacular appearance - but what does it really bring? Let's be precise and honest.
1. Natural pigments: betalains
The red-fleshed pitaya gets its magenta color from natural pigments called betalains. These compounds are being researched, but let's be cautious: to date, no health claims have been validated for them. What we can say is that they are at the heart of the fruit's natural profile - and its incomparable look in a bowl.
2. One of the least sweet in the range
Here is a point that I really like: with 30 g of sugars per 100 g, freeze-dried pitaya is about twice as discreet in sugar as our freeze-dried lychee (60 g). It remains a concentrated fruit, so indulgent - but it is one of the most modest in sugar among our freeze-dried fruits.
3. Crunchy fibers and seeds
The pitaya is one of the few fruits whose seeds are also eaten: these small black dots add crunch and fiber. Like any fruit, it contributes to the variety of your diet - and freeze-drying does not remove these fibers, it only removes the water.
4. A snack without added sugar or additives
No added sugar, no additives, no coloring: this color is 100% the fruit. Personally, it's the piece I put on porridge when I want it to visually pop at breakfast - and for the kids to forgo industrial candies.
5. Easy to integrate into daily life
The simplest way is to enjoy it as is, or to sprinkle it over a plant-based yogurt, a bowl, or granola. A small handful is enough: the taste is concentrated, as is the color.

Does freeze-dried pitaya contain added sugar ?
No. Our freeze-dried pitayas are made of 100% pitaya, with no added sugar, no additives, and no coloring. The 30 g of sugars per 100 g are solely the natural sugars of the fruit, concentrated by the removal of water. In fact, it is one of the fruits with the least sugar in our freeze-dried range.
How to consume freeze-dried pitaya ?
You can snack on it as is, sprinkle it on a plant-based yogurt, a bowl, porridge, or granola, add it to a smoothie, or let it infuse in kefir water or homemade kombucha. Rehydrated for a few minutes, it regains a softer texture. A small handful is enough, as its taste and color are concentrated.
Why is freeze-dried pitaya bright pink ?
This magenta color comes from betalains, pigments naturally present in the red flesh of the dragon fruit. Since freeze-drying removes water at low temperatures, without cooking, it preserves the original color of the fruit. No coloring is added: the hue you see is 100% pitaya.
Is freeze-dried pitaya organic ?
Our Vietnamese supplier is not certified organic, but the cultivation is, and the fruits are certified "pesticide residue-free." We have chosen transparency: a quality tropical terroir, fruits picked at maturity, and a partner committed to international standards (ISO 22000, HACCP, IFS).

Keep the bag at room temperature, away from light and heat. The 200 g package is resealable: make sure to close it properly after opening to maintain the crunchiness, as freeze-dried fruit easily absorbs moisture from the air.
