The market for dehydrated products reinforces new eating habits

The global market for dehydrated products is expected to grow around 6% between 2018 and 2022. This relevant number, which affects the production process of many food industry’s manufacturers, is the result of a study conducted by Technavio, a global leader in technology research and consulting.

The number can be explained by the fact that people are looking for food that can be consumed more simply and quickly. And that is precisely what dehydrated packaged products offer: convenience, flavor, and long-term preserved nutrients.

It is no wonder that this change in consumer habits has caught the attention of the food industry. Besides ready-for-immediate-consumption dehydrated products, people are looking for healthier options that add value to their daily diet.

According to the Brazil Food Trends 2020 report, the demand for products that offer health benefits has increased considerably in recent years in the country. The revenue of companies that operate in the industry of natural and healthy foods was R$ 93.6 billion in 2016 alone.

Fruit bits: dehydrated products for a balanced diet

As we have seen, it is noticeable that in recent years people have preferred dehydrated products, ingredients, and food with high nutritional value.

Thinking about making the manufacture of healthy products easier, free of preservatives and colorings, Blue Macaw Flora has developed a line of fruit bits (Frootiva).

Made with dehydrated apple and covered with a crunchy layer of other fruits, such as acai, cupuacu, passion fruit, banana, lemon, and plum, fruit bits are used as ingredients in the manufacture of cookies, granolas, yogurt toppings, breads, cakes, and desserts.

In addition, Frootiva fruit bits can be sold as snacks for retail consumption. Being good sources of fiber and vitamins, tasty and practical, they can be carried in the bag and easily consumed on the go, after training at the gym, as a snack for children or when you get hungry at work.

Without artificial colorings, flavors or preservatives, fruit bits are 100% natural dehydrated products with no cholesterol, trans fat, gluten or lactose, becoming great allies in the most restrictive diets.

Where can you find BMF’s dehydrated products?

Blue Macaw Flora offers dehydrated fruit bits for the manufacture of products such as cookies, granolas, breads, cereals, mix of dried fruits, desserts, among others.

In addition, fruit bits can also be marketed as snacks through the private label model. Have you thought about putting your company’s name on healthy products and, by doing so, getting consumers that are looking for a more natural food intake?

The snacks made with fruit bits from Blue Macaw Flora are already being sold in retail throughout Brazil, Canada, the United States, and in several countries in Europe.
