Soft-dried dragon fruit. Red to add colour, white to leave it alone.
Round slices of Vietnamese dragon fruit dried until they bend rather than snap, with the seeds still set through the flesh. The red line carries its own pink out of the fruit and takes no dye; the white line is the neutral one, and goes into a recipe without shifting the colour of anything else in it. OEM and private label.

Red and white dragon fruit go through the same dryer and come out with the same chew. The reason a buyer takes one over the other is rarely the flavour — it is what the slice does to the colour of everything it is mixed into.
Round slices, seeds left in
Cut across the fruit and dried gently until the slice bends instead of snapping. The black seeds stay where they were in the flesh, which is what keeps a piece recognisable as dragon fruit once it is out of the pack.
Colour without dye
The pink of the red line is betalain, the pigment already sitting in the flesh, and nothing is added to hold it there. Drying stays slow on both lines so the piece finishes soft and pliable rather than hard.
Chewy here, crisp there
Dragon fruit runs through both of our processes. Soft-dried gives a pliable slice for snacking and blending; freeze-dried gives a light, crisp one for toppers and ingredient work. The same fruit, two pieces that behave nothing alike.
The choice is about colour, not sweetness.
Both are gently sweet with a clean finish. What separates them is what happens to the mix around them.
Red — brings colour in
A strong pink that comes out of the fruit rather than out of a bottle, sold as the visual element in a snack mix, a dessert or a health range. This is the slice to specify when the blend needs a colour of its own.
White — leaves colour alone
White flesh blends into a recipe without altering its colour, and that is the whole reason to take it over the red. Mild, cleanly sweet, consistently tender, and easy to build into a product that already has a look of its own.
Where the two declarations differ
The no-added-sugar, no-preservative, no-artificial-colour wording belongs to the white line. The red line is described by its pigment instead, so its declaration is confirmed with the recipe rather than carried over from the white one.

Who buys red, and who buys white.
Snack and trail mixes
Red when the bag needs a colour that is not brown or gold, white when the pieces around it have to keep theirs. One line, chosen for two opposite reasons.
Premium snack brands
Ranges that sell on how the product looks in the pack. Colour and novelty are what the red slice is brought in for.
Desserts and bakery
Red laid on top of a dessert where it is meant to be seen; white folded into a batter or a filling where its own colour would only get in the way.
Health-food importers
Importers building a health-conscious range who want a line that looks nothing like the dried mango and pineapple already on the list.

Slice thickness, moisture and pack format are set per order, and red and white are specified separately. A single published table would be right for whoever it happened to be written for and wrong for everyone else, so the fields are listed here and the values arrive with your quote.

Dragon fruit and the lines beside it.
Dragon fruit leaves this factory two ways. Below: the same fruit through the freeze dryer, and two more soft-dried lines off the same equipment.
Freeze-Dried Dragon Fruit
The same fruit taken through a freeze dryer instead — light and crisp rather than chewy, and a different piece to formulate around.

Soft-Dried Pineapple
Whole rings with the acidity still in them, supplied plain or under a coating of chilli salt.

Soft-Dried Passion Fruit
The other line we dry with the seeds in. Here they crunch rather than just showing on the cut face.
