A Buyer's Guide to Dehydrated Vegetable & Fruit Powders

Dehydrated and spray-dried powders — onion, garlic, tomato, mango, banana and many more — offer long shelf life, easy transport and consistent flavour, which is why food manufacturers, seasoning brands and HoReCa suppliers are buying more of them every year. When sourcing powders from India, the first thing to confirm is the drying method. Spray-dried powders suit beverages and instant foods, while air-dried and freeze-dried products keep more texture for seasonings and snacks. Next, check the specification sheet: moisture content (usually below 5%), mesh size, colour, microbiological limits and packaging. Export packing is typically 20–25 kg in food-grade poly-lined cartons or fibre drums. Always ask for the supplier's FSSAI licence and, for plant products, APEDA registration. These confirm the facility is inspected and the product is legally exportable from India. AS EXIME supplies a wide range of spray-dried fruit powders, vegetable powders and herbal powders with full documentation.
