Description

Dehydrated strawberries are fresh strawberries that have undergone a water removal process to extend their shelf life and concentrate their flavor. This ingredient preserves the sweet and slightly acidic essence of the strawberry, but with a crunchier or chewier texture, ideal for adding color, flavor, and a natural touch to a wide variety of recipes, from desserts to salads and baked goods.

Originally from crops in temperate regions, strawberries have traditionally been consumed fresh, but the dehydration method allows for their preservation for longer without the need for refrigeration. This process is common in many areas of Latin America and Spain, where they are used as snacks or as ingredients in various culinary preparations.

Among their properties, dehydrated strawberries maintain a high concentration of antioxidants, vitamins (especially vitamin C), and dietary fiber, making them a healthy and natural complement to any recipe. Furthermore, by removing the water, their natural sugar content is intensified, providing sweetness without the need for added sugars.

In different Hispanic American countries, dehydrated strawberries can also be found under names such as dried strawberry fruits or simply dried strawberries. Although their use may vary, this ingredient is versatile and highly valued in modern gastronomy.
