What is Fruit and Vegetable Pulp?

Fruit and vegetable pulp refers to the fibrous, juicy portion obtained after extracting juice from fresh produce. It retains most of the original nutrients, dietary fiber, vitamins, minerals, and natural flavors, making it an ideal natural ingredient for:

Beverages (smoothies, juices, nectars)
Dairy & frozen desserts (yogurts, ice creams)
Bakery & confectionery
Baby food
Sauces, soups, and ready-to-eat meals
Functional foods and nutraceuticals

Because pulp is minimally processed and free from artificial additives, it perfectly aligns with the global “clean label” trend.
