From Farm to Powder
From Farm to Blend: Sourcing Fresh New Zealand Produce
At Nourisharvest, our journey to creating high-quality fruit and vegetable powders begins with sourcing the finest ingredients. We work closely with trusted New Zealand farms renowned for their nutrient-dense produce. Each fruit and vegetable is carefully selected to ensure that every blend delivers maximum nutritional value and natural goodness.
Preparing Whole Fruits and Vegetables for Maximum Nutrition
We believe in using the entire fruit and vegetable to harness all the available nutrients. That’s why, once the fresh produce arrives, it undergoes a thorough cleaning process to remove any impurities. Unlike conventional methods that discard the skins and seeds, we include everything—pips, skins, and all—because they are often packed with essential vitamins, minerals, and fiber.
The Importance of Using the Entire Fruit and Vegetable
Incorporating the whole fruit and vegetable means that our powders are richer in natural fiber and beneficial compounds. By not juicing or discarding parts of the produce, we preserve the full spectrum of nutrition that fresh produce offers.
Cutting, Not Juicing: Preserving Nutritional Integrity
To maintain the highest level of nutrition, we cut the fruits and vegetables into 5mm pieces rather than juicing them. Juicing can strip away fiber and some nutrients, but our method ensures that each piece retains its original nutritional profile. This crucial step ensures that our powders deliver the full benefits of fresh produce.
Gentle Air Drying Process for Nutrient Retention
Why Low-Heat Drying Matters
After cutting, the produce is carefully spread onto trays and loaded onto trolleys for the drying process. We use a gentle, low-heat air drying method that preserves essential vitamins, minerals, and natural flavors. Unlike high-heat drying, which can damage nutrients, our technique maintains the integrity of the produce, ensuring maximum nutrient retention.
Grinding and Blending: Creating Nutritious Powders
Once the produce is fully dried, it is finely ground into smooth, vibrant powders. These powders retain the color, flavor, and nutrition of the original fruits and vegetables. Our team then expertly blends various flavors to create our signature Nourisharvest fruit and veggie powders, perfect for smoothies, recipes, or simple mixing with water.
Expertly Blended for Flavor and Nutrition
Each blend is crafted to provide a balance of taste and nutrition, making it easy to add a healthy boost to your daily diet. Whether it’s the rich greens, tangy fruits, or a combination, our blends deliver convenience without sacrificing quality.
