Freeze-dried dragon fruit. The colour comes through the process.
Vacuum-drying from frozen is what leaves the violet-red where it was and the black seed speckle exactly where it was too — this line is specified as much for how it looks in a mix as for how it tastes. The crunch is fine enough to melt away with no residue left behind, and the sweetness concentrates with a cool note still in it. Cubes, slices or powder, in nitrogen-flushed bags or bulk, under OEM and private label.

Dragon fruit is a gentle flavour, and this line does not pretend otherwise. What it brings to a formulation is a violet-red surface and a seed speckle that read as fruit rather than as colouring — which is why the brief here usually starts from what the finished product has to look like.
Colour and speckle, both intact
The vivid natural colour and the striking seed-speckled surface both come through the drying rather than being restored afterwards. A slice still reads as a cross-section of the fruit it came from, which is the whole argument for using it instead of a colouring.
A crunch that leaves nothing behind
Delicate rather than hard: it gives way immediately and melts off the tongue without any residue to chew or clear. The sweetness underneath is concentrated but stays light, with a refreshing note rather than a syrupy one.
Specified by the eye, then the palate
Dessert decoration is what this line is asked for most, so the brief usually starts from what the finished pack, bowl or plate has to look like. That changes which form you want — a whole slice on a dessert is a different order from powder tinting a base.
From the crate to the cut.
The band below is the fresh fruit in harvest crates. The four tiles under it are the dried product: whole fruit beside the cubes, round chips, loose slices and broken chunks.
Who buys this line, and what they do with it.
Premium snack brands
Packs where the fruit has to be identifiable through a window before anyone reads the front panel. Dragon fruit does that job with no help from print.
Pastry kitchens
Decoration that is edible, dry and does not weep into what it is sitting on. A slice keeps its shape on a finished dessert instead of softening into it.
Health food manufacturers
Formulations that want colour from fruit rather than from an additive. The seed speckle is the part that makes that visible to the person holding the pack.
Beverage companies
Drinks and drink mixes built around the pink. This is usually where the powder form goes, alongside importers supplying the same three forms onward.
The numbers come with the quote.
Slice diameter, residual moisture, pack format and carton weight are all set by the order, and so is the flesh type the fruit is cut from. Publishing one set of figures here would be wrong for most of the buyers who read it, so the sheet below names the fields and your quote fills them in.

What sits either side of it.
Dragon fruit is usually specified alongside another line, because a mix needs more than one colour. These are its neighbours in the range, plus the soft-dried version of the same fruit.
Freeze-Dried Mango
The yellow half of a two-colour mix, supplied in the same three forms as this one. Sweet-tart against this one's cooler sweetness.

Freeze-Dried Durian
The opposite brief entirely: bought for aroma, not for looks. Worth seeing if the range needs one line that sells on flavour alone.

Soft-Dried Fruits
Dragon fruit is run soft-dried as well — chewy rather than brittle, and a different shelf. The range page covers that version and the rest of the soft-dried bench.
