Fruit & Vegetable Powders

What's in the range

The range covers berry and fruit powders such as acai, acerola cherry, blackcurrant, blueberry, elderberry, maqui berry, raspberry, mangosteen, noni, pitaya and our Organic Super Berry Blend Powder; naturally sweet powders including banana, lucuma and baobab; and vegetable powders made from beetroot, broccoli, kale and spinach. Organic Maca Powder, made from an Andean root, and Premium Orange Peel Powder complete the line-up. The acai and elderberry powders are freeze-dried.

Flavour guide

Berry powders are tart and fruity and turn smoothies and yoghurt deep purple or pink. Pitaya gives a striking magenta colour with a mild, gently sweet taste, which is why it's so popular for smoothie bowls. Lucuma tastes of caramel, maple and butterscotch, and banana powder is naturally sweet. Baobab and acerola are sharp and sherbet-like, while maca is malty and nutty. Noni has a strong, pungent flavour that is best mixed into fruit juice. Beetroot is earthy-sweet, and kale, spinach and broccoli taste green and grassy.

How to use them

Most people start with a teaspoon or two in a smoothie, juice, porridge or yoghurt and adjust to taste. Fruit powders are lovely stirred into overnight oats, chia puddings and cake batters, or dusted over desserts and granola. Beetroot and pitaya make natural colourings for icing, pancakes, pasta dough and frosting, while blueberry, maqui and acai give purple hues. Vegetable powders can go into soups, sauces, dips, pesto, burgers and bread dough. Maca and lucuma work beautifully in hot chocolate, banana milkshakes and homemade ice cream. Where you can, add the powder towards the end of cooking to keep the colour bright, as long baking can dull the shade.

Storing and sizes

Fruit powders naturally draw in moisture from the air, so reseal the pouch tightly after every use, use a dry spoon and keep them in a cool, dry, dark cupboard. If a powder does clump, break it up with a fork or give it a quick blitz in a blender; it is still fine to use. Most powders come in sizes from small packs up to larger bags, and UK orders over £50 get free delivery.
