Nampa, Idaho, May 1, 2017 -- Milne MicroDried® will be showcasing 20 fruit and vegetable powders and fragments at the World Tea Expo that are ideal for coloring and flavor a full array of teas, health drinks and beers.
All of Milne MicroDried® products are 100% pure fruit and vegetable ingredients with no added sugars, colors or preservatives and offer a very clean, single-ingredient label. These unique ingredients are already being used successfully in a line of teas, sparkling waters and beers to create uniquely flavored beverages.
“Our success in the tea and beverage market has far exceeded our expectations,” Heidi Farkas, National Sales and Marketing Manager for Milne MicroDried®, said. “We see continued growth in teas and expect our position in the domestic and international tea markets to grow as well.”
Now with almost 20 conventional fruit and vegetable varieties, MicroDried also offers seven organic varieties including aronia, blueberry, cherry, cranberry, golden berry, raspberry and strawberry in both fragments and powders. Over the past year, Milne MicroDried® continued expanding its new dried varieties introducing red bell pepper, lentils and wine varietals such as merlot, chardonnay, Riesling and shiraz.
Many of the world’s largest food manufacturers use MicroDried® fruit and vegetable ingredients for supplements, nutraceuticals, teas, brewing applications and even as a flavoring or coloring for popcorn.
Milne MicroDried® has enjoyed tremendous success in recent years and is more than doubling its production capacity through a major expansion project that will go into service in July. The added capacity will allow Milne to more quickly launch innovative new products and respond to new opportunities in domestic and international markets.
In 2012, Milne MicroDried® introduced this innovative, new drying process for fruits and vegetables to the industrial ingredient markets and has enjoyed continued growth. The company’s organic farm and production facilities are certified by the USDA and Washington State Department of Agriculture each year and has earned the highest BRC Ratings (AA Rated) possible for three years in a row.
