Fruit d’Or, a grower, harvester, and processor of organic cranberries and wild blueberries, will feature its entire portfolio at IFT First 2023, and debut two new ingredients.
 
“IFT is our biggest show of the year. We are excited to talk with the R&D and innovation managers at the beginning of their product development cycle because they are the ones innovating with our products. We look forward to hearing their reactions to our better-for-you portfolio,” said Sylvain Dufour, vice president of business development.
 
Elevated Taste and Nutrition
 
The company’s better-for-you ingredients are the culmination of the R&D team’s expertise in B2B, ingredients, and product development, the company reports. Visitors to Fruit d’Or’s booth will be able to sample:
 
Unsweetened and soft gems, which are unsweetened cranberry products with no added sugar. The berries are infused in a soluble fiber which increases the fruit’s fiber content. Applications include trail mixes, bakery products, cereals and bars, and snacks.
Crunchy blueflakes and cranflakes, which are organic, clean label, and have no added sugars, and the sole ingredients are fruit. The berries contain all polyphenols, and applications include confectionary, granola, energy bars, cold cereals, and tea.
Cranbery and blueberry 100% fruit powders, which have no added sugar, preservatives, flavors, additives, or fillers. It takes 37 pounds of cranberries to produce a single pound of the fruit powder, which is rich in polyphenols and anthocyanins, and has applications including dairy, energy bars, bakery, smoothies, and confectionary.
Cranberry seeds and dry seed extract, which is upcyled and sustainably sourced, clean label, and organic. The distinctively red seeds are upcycled from Fruit d’Or’s cranberry production, and contain protein, fiber, and omega-3 and omega-6 fatty acids.
 
“We have fine-tuned our processes to bring out all of the natural goodness of the fruit,” said Dufour. “Our products contain zero additives, preservatives, added sugar, flavors, colors or GMOs. With demonstrated authenticity, purity and effectiveness, the quality of Fruit d’Or’s products is something our customers can trust.”
