One Buyer Guide per Fruit

Real cantaloupe powder, juice powder, extract or flavouring: what are you buying?
Fruit powder, juice powder, extract or flavouring: how to read a melon ingredient list in 30 seconds and which one gives a real-fruit label.

Why does freeze-dried cantaloupe go sticky, and how is it packed to stay crisp?
Cantaloupe is about 70% natural sugar, so it pulls in moisture. Batch-sized foil bags, 10–12 kg powder cartons, shelf life and container loads.

Which HS code does freeze-dried cantaloupe ship under, and what does each market check?
Freeze-dried cantaloupe ships under HS 0813.40, the powder under 1106.30. US, EU, UK and UAE duty, documents and the FDA traceability rule.

How is cantaloupe freeze-dried, and how much fresh melon goes into 1 kg?
Yes, cantaloupe freeze-dries well. 13–17 kg of whole melon make 1 kg; see the industrial process, why quotes differ, and when to buy in bulk.

How much real cantaloupe powder goes into a bubble tea, smoothie or drink mix?
Dose real cantaloupe powder at 20–30 g per 500 ml cup: 33–50 cups per kg. Cold vs hot mixing, pairings and label notes for drink brands.
