NEW: Pineapple Fiber Powder

One of the only fruits that believe it or not bites back, is the pineapple!  Native to South America, this delicious fruit was mass-commercialized in the 19th century and now millions of tons of Ananas comosus are produced every year.  Its primarily harvested for its flesh and juice in culinary applications with the leaves being used in the textile industry.  With the pulp and juice being extracted, this leaves behind excess pineapple skin and fiber.  This is called the leftover pomace which is the source of our latest ingredient, Pineapple Fiber Powder!

Pineapple fiber powder is a sustainable and nutritious way to add fiber to various food formulations. The upcycled material is taken from the leftover pineapple after it has been dried and yields a light yellow to brown powder with a mild fruity flavor and aroma.

Pineapple fiber powder is a highly desired material for a variety of different food products given its high content of dietary fiber, magnesium, potassium, and antioxidants.  Dietary fiber is just one component in promoting an overall healthy lifestyle.  Incorporating nutrient rich pineapple fiber powder into a smoothie,  yogurt, shake, stew, soups, or other various dishes, consumers can easily increase their dietary fiber intake.  In baking applications, pineapple fiber powder can enhance the overall texture while also providing a nutritional boost, such as in muffins, breads, and cereals.   

Pineapple fiber powder is a tasty, waste-free way to boost the fiber count in your food products. Buy this material and other environmentally friendly products at wholesale pricing on bulknaturaloils.com!
