Sephra Freeze Dried Blackberries 250g

Sephra Freeze Dried Scottish Blackberries

Sephra Freeze Dried Scottish Blackberries are a crisp, ready-to-use fruit ingredient produced from whole blackberries grown in Scotland. The fruit is harvested at optimum ripeness, inspected and freeze dried to retain its characteristic flavour and deep purple colour. Suitable for chocolatiers, bakeries, dessert producers and professional kitchens, the prepared fruit offers convenient portioning and ambient storage without the short usable life associated with fresh berries.

Whole Scottish Blackberries with No Added Ingredients

The product contains 100% blackberry with no added sugar, preservatives, colours, flavourings or other additives. Freeze drying reduces the moisture content to below 4%, producing a crisp fruit ingredient suitable for dry inclusions and decorative applications.

The berries have a natural deep purple colour and a characteristic dried blackberry flavour. Their distinctive appearance makes them particularly suitable where visible fruit pieces and strong colour contrast are required.

Prepared Berries for Professional Portioning

The product consists predominantly of blackberries measuring approximately 20–30mm. The prepared format removes the need to wash, drain or prepare fresh berries and allows the required quantity to be weighed directly from the pack.

As this is a natural whole-fruit product, some variation in size, shape and colour may occur. The berries are also delicate, and occasional splits, skins and smaller fragments can be present as a result of handling and the freeze drying process.

Use Whole, Crushed or Rehydrated

Use the blackberries directly from the pack in chocolate bars, bark, granola, cereal mixes and other low-moisture products. They can also be used to finish cakes, cheesecakes, porridge, yoghurt, ice cream and plated desserts.

For a finer result, crush or process the berries into blackberry powder. The powder may be mixed into buttercream, icing, glazes, meringues, chocolate fillings or dry dessert preparations. Test the quantity before larger-scale production, as fruit powder may affect the consistency of the finished recipe.

The berries may also be rehydrated where a softer fruit texture is required. Cold water helps retain more of their shape, while warmer water is suitable for sauces, fillings and compotes where the final texture is more important than appearance.

Applications Across Chocolate and Dessert Production

Freeze dried blackberry pairs effectively with milk, dark and white chocolate and can be used in bars, bark, clusters and decorated confectionery. Its deep colour also provides a strong visual contrast against white chocolate, cream, icing and pale dessert finishes.

Blackberry works well with vanilla, lemon, apple, caramel and biscuit flavours. Suitable applications include cheesecakes, buttercream, granola, cereal blends, porridge, ice cream and plated desserts.

When used with moist ingredients such as cream, yoghurt, sauce or buttercream, the fruit gradually absorbs moisture and softens. Add shortly before serving where retaining the crisp texture is important.

Convenient Storage with Reduced Fruit Waste

Freeze dried blackberries allow businesses to use only the quantity required without managing fresh berries that may soften, leak or spoil quickly. This makes them suitable for occasional menu lines, small-batch production and decorative applications.

Store the product unopened in cool or ambient dry conditions, away from steam and humidity. Once opened, securely close the packaging or transfer the remaining fruit to an airtight container. Handle the whole berries carefully to help protect their shape.
