Good to know: the Chlorella algae

Small, green and powerful: the chlorella algae contains lots of proteins, antioxidants and micronutrients that are said to have positive effects on health. It is not without reason that it is considered a superfood. Chlorella is a microscopic single-celled organism that occurs as an algae in fresh water. They are particularly rich in chlorophyll, which is said to have many positive effects on health – among other things, it could support the provision of energy and bind pollutants. With up to 60 percent protein content and plenty of vitamin B12, chlorella algae are a valuable source of protein and vitamin B.

The wild blueberries (Vaccinium angustifolium) of our partner Van Dyk’s have their origin in Eastern Canada and the Northeast of the USA.

They are significantly smaller and naturally sweeter than cultivated or highly bushy blueberries (Vaccinium corymbosum). They are richer in antioxidants and have a more intense taste.

Wilde Blaubeeren VALIO.de

Due to their small size, the number of berries per 100g is significantly higher than with cultivated blueberries. 

VAN DYK’S EXCLUSIVE PRODUCTION TECHNOLOGY:

Van Dyk Logo VALIO.de

The unique drying process aims at the maximum preservation of taste, nutritional values and antioxidants of the fruit.

For this purpose, the blueberries are subjected to microwave vacuum drying without the use of oil, sugar or preservatives.

The berries are passed through a vacuum chamber, in which the air pressure and thus the evaporation point of the water is significantly lowered. Low energy microwaves are used to efficiently extract moisture at low evaporation temperatures. This technology allows the fruit to be dehydrated to very precise humidity levels.

ADVANTAGES OF MICROWAVE-VACUUM DRYING:

  • No added sugar, fat or preservatives
  • Blueberry nutrients and antioxidants are largely preserved
  • The original size of the blueberries is almost preserved by gentle drying in the vacuum chambers

Kurz zusammengefasst


  • Wächst in tropischen Ländern ohne Gentechnik
  • Größte Frucht der Welt
  • Reich an Ballaststoffen, enthält Vitamin B6 und C sowie Kalium
  • Frei von Gluten, gesättigten Fetten und Cholesterin
  • Keine Allergene
  • Kalorienarm und Lecker

The jackfruit belongs to the mulberry family and is cultivated in tropical areas such as Sri Lanka, India, Thailand or Vietnam.

It is the heaviest and largest tree fruit in the world and can weigh up to 40 kg and grow up to 90 cm long.

The fruit owes its name to the Malaysian word “Chakka”. This means “round” and describes its appearance.

The cultivation is done without any genetic engineering. In addition, significantly less water and energy is consumed than in the cultivation and processing of soy or peas.

FRUIT OR MEAT SUBSTITUTE? THE DIFFERENCES BETWEEN RIPE FRUIT AND UNRIPE FRUIT

Jackfrucht reif süss
Ripe (sweet)
Jackfrucht jung Fleisch- und Fischersatz
Young (meat and fish substitute)

The ripe jackfruit is light yellow to golden inside and has a sweetish taste. The fruit flesh can be used, for example, for a tropical fruit salad.

The young, unripe Jackfruit is suitable as a substitute for meat and is therefore a very good meat and fish alternative for vegans, vegetarians and flexitarians. The unripe white, tasteless flesh is used, which is similar to chicken breast or lean pork in its consistency. It accepts spicy marinades and spices very well and thus provides an intense taste experience. The flesh retains its fibrous consistency even during cooking and frying and creates a meat-like feeling when eaten.

    The incomparable CRUNCH effect – Freeze-dried fruits as an innovation in the food industry

    Freeze-dried fruits have experienced a remarkable rise in the food industry in recent years. With their characteristic crunch and intense, authentic fruit flavor, they offer a unique taste experience that excites both consumers and product developers. As a leading provider of high-quality freeze-dried fruits, we present our comprehensive portfolio and explain why our products are the optimal choice for your applications.

    Freeze-drying is a particularly gentle preservation method in which moisture transitions directly from the frozen to the gaseous state (sublimation) under vacuum. This preserves the valuable ingredients, natural color, and especially the intense flavor of the fruits almost completely – a decisive advantage over other drying methods.

    Why freeze-dried fruits are the superior choice

    Quality features that convince

    • Organic & conventional – Flexibility for your specific requirements
    • “From field to fork” – Harvested in the fields and directly processed without detours for maximum freshness
    • Diverse portfolio – Various cut forms: whole fruits, slices, pieces, and powder
    • 100% pure fruit – No additives, no preservatives, no compromises
    • Preservation of natural properties – Shape, nutrients, and authentic taste remain fully preserved
    • Exceptional shelf life – 24 months minimum shelf life after production without refrigeration

    Scientifically proven: The advantages of freeze-drying

    Freeze-drying is considered one of the gentlest preservation methods. Studies show that up to 97% of heat-sensitive vitamins and antioxidants are preserved – significantly more than with conventional drying methods. A study by Cornell University confirmed that freeze-dried fruits have a significantly higher nutrient content than other dried fruits.

    According to a study by the World Resources Institute, freeze-drying can significantly reduce food waste as products remain shelf-stable without refrigeration.

    Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

    How do freeze-dried fruits differ from other dried fruits?

    Freeze-dried fruits are first frozen and then dried under vacuum, with water transitioning directly from the frozen to the gaseous state. This preserves structure, color, nutrients, and flavor almost completely – unlike conventionally dried fruits, which often shrink due to heat exposure, lose vitamins, and are often treated with additives.
    With proper storage, the minimum shelf life is 24 months after production. Crucial is storage in a dry environment, as the products are hygroscopic and attract moisture.
    Freeze-dried fruits should be kept cool, dry, and protected from light in airtight containers. After opening, we recommend storage in an airtight container to prevent moisture absorption.
    Yes, freeze-dried fruits can be rehydrated by adding water. The rehydration time varies depending on the type of fruit and cut form, ranging from 2 to 15 minutes.
    Yes, all our freeze-dried fruits are naturally gluten-free, 100% vegan, and naturally free from the 14 main allergens. Our production facilities are designed for low-allergen production.
    Minimum order quantities vary by product. For standard products from our range, they typically start at 5 kg to 12 kg. For special products or customized solutions, please contact us directly.
