Frequently Asked Questions

Can I use bilberry powder in my daily diet?

Absolutely! Our bilberry powder is versatile and can be added to smoothies, yogurt, or baked goods to enhance flavor and nutritional value.

How does freeze-drying differ from other drying methods?

Freeze-drying removes moisture from the black raspberries at low temperatures, which helps preserve the structure, nutritional content, and flavor of the fruit. Unlike heat drying, this process ensures that antioxidants and vitamins remain intact and highly potent.
