How To Make Strawberry Powder

Dehydrate strawberries to take advantage of strawberry season which is short but oh so sweet! It’s a quick and easy project that you can also convert into Strawberry Powder!

Did you know that one of the best beginning dehydrator projects to do is dehydrating strawberries? They are almost fool-proof!

Here’s another fact: Strawberries are not technically berries? It’s true.

Botanically, strawberries are really aggregate fruits, NOT a true berry. Berries are fleshy fruits deriving from a single flower ovary, and contain their seeds on the inside of their flesh, while strawberries store their seeds on the outside of their flesh, and derive from multiple flower ovaries.

Other fruits that are actually berries might surprise you:

  • Watermelon
  • Tomatoes
  • Grapes
  • Avocados
  • Bananas
  • Kiwi
  • Pumpkin and other squash varieties

This really doesn’t affect how you preserve strawberries, it’s just a fun little piece of gardening trivia to share at your next dinner party.

HOW TO KEEP STRAWBERRIES FRESH

Many people recommend washing soft flesh berries like strawberries and raspberries before storing them.

I disagree. Moisture from those berries are what contribute to the berries molding quickly, so I like to store just as they are in the fridge until I need to get them ready to dehydrate.

I wash only as I’m ready to use. While I’m pretty steadfast with this practice and raspberries, I can be a little more forgiving of strawberries if I know we’ll be using them within a day or two – I’ll go ahead and wash immediately.

If, however, you find that you need to pick out a few bad fruits and wash the container for possible mold spores, this is how I do it.

  1. Pick out any bruised or molded fruit;
  2. Place the berries in a water bath of 2:1 water to the vinegar solution. There are even studies that suggest a simple wash in water is more beneficial because the amount of vinegar you have to use is so high, anything less is just wasting it.
  3. Wash the clamshell container your strawberries are in, and dry thoroughly,
  4. Place a paper towel at the bottom of the container.
  5. Dry strawberries thoroughly by laying out on a towel or gently spinning in a salad spinner, and then allow to dry. I really love my upgraded salad spinner from OXO.
  6. Place strawberries back into your container.
  7. Return to refrigerator.

If keeping in the clamshell is not, there are new containers that allow you to keep strawberries better in the fridge. They are designed to help you keep optimum conditions to help your produce last as long as possible.

And before we start, there is the argument of organic vs non-organic. Strawberries usually top the list. Inform yourself, make your choice, and enjoy your food.

HOW TO DEHYDRATE STRAWBERRIES

Quick Dehydrating Tip: Dry at 125F or lower to help stop strawberries from browing. Dehydrate strawberries for 6-10 hours depending on the many variables listed below.

1. WASH YOUR STRAWBERRIES THOROUGHLY.

Place the berries in a water bath of 2:1 water to the vinegar solution. There are even studies that suggest a simple wash in water is more beneficial because the amount of vinegar you have to use is so high, anything less is just wasting it.

2. HULL THE STRAWBERRIES.

How to Hull:

  • Use a paring knife to just cut a ‘v’ under the greens and pull them off.
  • Use a hulling tool like mine or even this cute strawberry huller by OXO.
  • Use a metal or glass straw to push out the greens. This method, however, is a bit messy and wastes a little more of the fruit, but is quick once you get the hang of it.

And here’s a tip – don’t throw away those green tops – you can dehydrate them, too! They can be ground to add to your green powder, or you can use them to make strawberry tea. (See more ideas at the bottom of the post!)

3. SLICE YOUR STRAWBERRIES INTO ÂĽ” SLICES.

You can do this any way you’d like – or even just cut into small chunks.

4. ARRANGE ONTO DEHYDRATOR TRAYS

It’s important to not let the fruit touch. They don’t react the same way that herbs and greens do, so they need their space!

5. DRY AT 125°F / 52°C FOR 6-10 HRS.

Dry until the strawberries are dry and pliable.  While the recommendation for fruit is 135F / 57C, I keep it on the low side to help keep as much of the nutrition in the fruit as possible.

DEHYDRATING FROZEN STRAWBERRIES

Depending on the type of packing your strawberry has determines the next steps:

  • Thaw in a colander over a bowl – save the juice (or syrup), reduce and make for a syrup later
  • You can place frozen strawberry slices directly into your dehydrator
  • Dry at 125F/52C to reduce browned edges.

OVEN DIRECTIONS

  1. Prepare strawberries as above.
  2. Place on cooling racks that are lined with parchment paper.
  3. Place on a cooling rack onto a cookie sheet for easier movement. This rack allows more airflow while also keeping strawberries off the solid hot surface.
  4. Dry at the lowest possible temperature setting on your oven. You can flip them once to help reduce sticking.
  5. Crack the door open with an oven-proof spatula. Be mindful of mobility-impaired individuals or children.
  6. Watch for browning – ovens tend to be hotter than necessary for drying strawberries, so the time will be much quicker, between 3-8 hours – so keep a sharp eye out burning.
  7. Continue with the following steps

WHEN ARE DRIED STRAWBERRIES DONE?

  • Typically takes a batch like this about 8 hours to dry when sliced thin, up to 12-18 hours if done in halves.
  • Strawberries should be dry to the touch like paper, and pliable – but will probably not shatter the way vegetables would when completely dry.
  • Allow to come to room temperature and test again for the same effect. If they are bendy (as opposed to pliable), put them back in to dry more.

THE NEXT STEP: CONDITIONING

Conditioning is a vital step to dehydrated food storage that many tutorials and books neglect to mention.

Conditioning allows you to make sure that your food is evenly dry, has no moisture hiding that can cause mold down the road, and allows you to safely store your food in your pantry. Dehydrated strawberries, like other fruits, can mold easily if not properly dried and conditioned, so don’t skip this step!

What is strawberry powder?

Strawberry powder is made from strawberries that have been dehydrated in the oven, then blended into a fine powder.  Strawberry powder gives foods a fresh strawberry flavor and a natural taste.  Best of all, it’s preservative free, dairy-free, low carb and vegan friendly.

Since strawberry powder retains all the nutrients of strawberries, it is packed with vitamin C, vitamin K, and calcium.

Strawberry powder is also a good source of dietary fiber which supports digestive health and blood sugar control.

What are the ingredients I need and what are the instructions to make strawberry powder?

  • Strawberry
  • Sweetener of choice

We have found that using convection baking is key to ensuring proper drying of the strawberries. Also, cooking times may vary slightly with different ovens.

The trick to making very fine powder is to make sure your strawberries are fully dried and to use a high powered blender. I used a Vitamix and got great results from it.

Store in a cool dry place.  Best if stored in the freezer.

Can I use store bought dehydrated/freeze dried strawberries instead of fresh strawberries?

Yes!  If you want to skip the step of dehydrating your own strawberries, just buy ready-made dehydrated strawberries or freeze dried strawberries at your local grocery store and follow directions for blending.

HOW CAN YOU MAKE FREEZE DRIED STRAWBERRY POWDER AT HOME?

Making freeze-dried strawberry powder at home is a great way to utilize strawberries that are ripe or on the verge of spoiling! You don’t even have to worry all that much about their consistency or color. Once dried, the consistency won’t matter and the color will intensify.

And, to make it even better, the entire process is extremely easy! So, let’s have a look at exactly what this process entails.

INGREDIENTS

  • Fresh strawberries (a large amount makes the strawberry powder easier to blend)

EQUIPMENT

  • Paper towel
  • Baking tray
  • Non-stick parchment paper
  • An oven or dehydrator
  • Freezer
  • Blender
  • Sift

STEPS FOR MAKING FREEZE DRIED STRAWBERRY POWDER AT HOME

STEP 1: PREPARE THE STRAWBERRIES

First, preheat your oven to 212°F (100°C).

Thoroughly wash and dry all your strawberries. Remove the green tops and pat the strawberries dry with a paper towel. Then, cut the strawberries into thin slices.

STEP 2: DEHYDRATE THE STRAWBERRIES

Place the sliced strawberries onto a parchment paper-lined baking tray. Dehydrate the strawberries in the oven for 3-4 hours or until they are crisp. The strawberries should not be soft in any part.

Be patient and make sure they are thoroughly dehydrated before removing them from the oven. Do not overcrowd the strawberry slices on the paper.

STEP 3: FREEZE THE STRAWBERRIES

Once the strawberries have dehydrated, allow them to cool completely. Then, place them in the freezer until they are completely frozen. You can leave them overnight to make sure that they are rock solid.

STEP 4: BLEND THE DRIED FROZEN SLICES

Place the frozen strawberries into the blender. Pulverize the slices at a high speed until they become a fine powder.

STEP 5: SIFT THE POWDER

Sift the blended powder to make sure there are no pieces left that might not have blended. Store the powder in an airtight container and keep it away from any moisture or heat.

ARE THERE DIFFERENT KINDS OF FREEZE DRIED STRAWBERRY POWDERS?

Technically, this freeze-dried strawberry powder is what it is. There aren’t really variations other than additives that manufacturers sometimes add. This includes anything from stabilizers, anti-caking agents, colorants, and flavorings. They also sometimes add sugar to make the mixture sweeter.

Always make sure to check the packaging for added ingredients. They legally have to declare anything they added, especially if it is common allergens.

Although there aren’t variations of freeze-dried strawberry powder, there are many other types of freeze-dried fruit powders. This includes blueberry, raspberry, apple, mango, and many more! They are made in exactly the same way and can also be used in similar ways.

NUTRITIONAL VALUE OF FREEZE-DRIED STRAWBERRY POWDER

You would think that freeze-drying the strawberries will cause the strawberries to lose nutrients. But, unlike many other processing techniques, it really doesn’t!

The freeze-dried strawberry powder actually retains all the original nutrients of the strawberries! So, consuming freeze-dried strawberry powder is just like eating the real deal. Just check the packaging of the powder for additives, especially sweeteners like sugar. While sweeteners do make the powder more flavorful, it naturally also makes it less healthy.

Two tablespoons of freeze-dried strawberry powder can contain up to 250% of the recommended daily value of vitamin C. And, as you might know, vitamin C helps boost the immune system.

Freeze-dried strawberry powder is also high in fiber and a great source of antioxidants.

WHAT CAN YOU USE FREEZE DRIED STRAWBERRY POWDER FOR?

This strawberry powder can be used in so many different ways! The freeze-dried strawberry powder can be used to replace artificial flavorings like essences. And, it is also a great natural coloring ingredient (if of course, the powder itself is all-natural).

Since the powder is a bit tangy, but also naturally sweet, it makes a great additive to desserts or basically anything creamy! Just think of it as strawberries, but in a powdered form.

It can be added to smoothies, used to make strawberry vinaigrette’s, dusted on desserts as a garnish, incorporated into cupcakes, cakes, or muffins batters, or even just sprinkled over oatmeal at breakfast!

How to Make Strawberry Powder

  • Freshly-picked strawberries are a delight in season. 
  • To enjoy that delicious flavor more often, try turning some of those strawberries into powder!
  • Strawberry powder is easy to make and will provide you with a nearly endless number of uses. 
  • Here’s how to do it right the first time…

How to Dehydrate Strawberries for Powder

  • Preheat your dehydrator to around 160 degrees Fahrenheit. 
  • While waiting for your dehydrator to heat up, wash, hull, and slice your berries. Place on the dehydrator trays, ensuring the pieces do not overlap or touch. 
  • Reduce heat to between 125 and 135 and dry for anywhere from six to ten hours.The exact time will depend on factors like humidity, altitude, etc. 
  • On super humid days, I’ve had to go as long as 24 hours! So don’t be surprised or think you messed up if that happens.

How Do You Know When Dehydrated Strawberries Are Done?

Your strawberries are done when they are dry to the touch and feel much like paper. 

They should be somewhat pliable; however, you should not be able to bend them easily. 

Check the feel and consistency of your strawberries when removing them from the dehydrator. Allow them to reach room temperature and then inspect them again. 

If they meet the standards the second time, they are ready for you to begin conditioning.

To condition your strawberries, put them in a glass jar with a tight-fitting seal. Leave them in the jar for about a week, shake daily, and inspect daily for signs of moisture. 

Should you notice moisture, remove the berries and dry in your dehydrator for just a little while longer. 

At the end of the one-week time frame, your berries are ready to become powder if there is no moisture present.

How to Turn Dried Strawberries into Powder

  • Place a handful of dehydrated strawberries into a food processor or blender. Grind until the fruit reaches the consistency of a fine powder and has no lumps.
  • Alternatively, you may also use freeze-dried strawberries. When doing so, keep in mind that the taste and color will be different than powder made with dehydrated strawberries.

How to Store Strawberry Powder

  • Place your finished strawberry powder in a container with a sealed lid and store at room temperature. Your kitchen’s cool, dry pantry is an ideal spot for storing strawberry powder.

Strawberry Powder Benefits

Because the strawberry powder is a condensed version of the fruit, the nutritional properties benefit your body even more. The supplement fights free radicals, rejuvenates skin, prevents heart disease and cancer, supports the central nervous system, aids in detoxification and helps maintain a healthy pregnancy.  With that, here is an extended look at the benefits of taking the strawberry powder and remember to consult with your doctor before considering any new supplement.

  1. Full of Antioxidants

Based on substantial studies, strawberries are a rich source of many antioxidants.  Antioxidants fight to keep your body healthy by eliminating free radicals that cause inflammation that leads to chronic disease. Antioxidants give electrons to the volatile free radicals that are without electrons, so the free radicals will not take the electrons from the healthy cells, which destroys your good cells. With the increase of antioxidants, the existence of oxidative stress in your body slows down, impeding the aging progress and formation of most diseases, such as heart disease, cancer, neurological disorders and diabetes.

2. Shields Against Heart Disease

With the strawberry powder filled with antioxidants, what happens when you take the supplement every day? As mentioned earlier, taking the supplement will fight the oxidation process happening in your body. This is crucial as a prevention against heart disease since the oxidation increases the chance of undergoing a stroke, heart attack or other types of coronary heart disease.

The fruit’s antioxidants assist in lowering the chances of cardiovascular disease as an inhibitor of bad LDL—cholesterol oxidation , enhancing blood vessel performance and blood pressure, by reducing lipid oxidation and plaque buildup within the arteries.  This will result in a decrease of the dangerous blood clots forming within the blood vessels, known as thrombosis.

A study conducted on adults with hyperlipidemia, hardening or narrowing of the arteries, indicated strawberry supplementation lowered the oxidative damage to LDL and supported the lessening of blood lipids and gave participants the ability to taste food better.  Another study administered strawberry extract to obese participants, which lowered their bodies’ inflammatory activity, which is one of the main reasons for heart diseases. 

Further research supports adding strawberries to the diet in general as a possible solution to the prevention and reversion of heart disease. It makes an overall healthy diet more sustainable and palpable.

3. Helps Prevent Cancer

Both strawberries and blueberries play a role in fighting against cancer. Research indicates strawberry supplements block the beginning of cancer formation and carcinogenesis and suppress the proliferation and progression of cancer tumors.

A study proved that strawberry extracted inhibited cancer growth based on two groups of people who had liver cancer. One group consumed strawberry extract, which contains anthocyanin antioxidants. The other group did not take the extract. The group that took the extract noticed a significant improvement in inhibiting the cancer growth compared to the group that received no extract.  The fruit is also associated with a lower risk of skin cancer, prostate cancer, colon cancer and breast cancer.

4. Prevents Skin Damage

Various internal and external elements influence the skin as you age. Due to poor diet, environmental toxins, and sun exposure, your skin undergoes premature aging and inflammation, which may indicate immune dysfunction, including acne and similar skin disorders. Researchers confirm the correlation between skin health and nutrient-dense food consumption.

Certain foods are more optimum for the skin than other foods, such as foods high in antioxidants—strawberries. The berries also contain vitamin A and C, which help improve skin properties , such as lowering the levels of wrinkles and discoloration, decreasing the risk of skin cancer while enhancing and maintaining elasticity.

One of the most significant benefits of strawberry powder is high levels of vitamin C, which prevents premature aging from ultraviolet light and remedies a variety of inflammation rashes. 

5. High in Fiber and Helps in Detoxification

Strawberries assist in detoxing the body by restoring the digestive tract, supporting digestive regularity and offering anti-inflammatory antioxidants. The high content of vitamin A and vitamin C helps as well since these two vitamins are necessary for the progress of any detoxification of your body.

The fruit also contains soluble and insoluble fiber, which also helps in the elimination of toxins. The high concentration of antioxidants in strawberries also plays an essential role in your body’s detoxification. It does so by neutralizing and eliminating toxins that would otherwise create excessive inflammation, free radical damage and digestive disorders. 

As a high-fiber food, the fruit helps the digestive system by counteracting constipation, lowering inflammation in the gastrointestinal tract and balancing the pH level of the digestive tract. The scientific community supports a high-fiber diet because those on such a diet have a low glycemic index and may be less likely to develop diabetes. 

6. Benefits Central Nervous System and Inhibits Neurodegenerative Diseases

Like other berries, strawberries are high in flavonoids, particularly anthocyanidins that support cognitive behavior in scientific studies.

The Annals of Neurology published a study where teams evaluated the long-term consumption of berries and flavonoids associated with decreasing the rate of cognitive decline in mature adults. The findings indicated a positive connection between higher berry intake and a decrease in the rate of oxidation damage to the brain.

Based on these findings, health care professionals suggest that people add berries to their diets whenever possible. Adding them to your diet will fight against oxidative stress, including inflammation of the brain and diseases like Alzheimer’s and dementia.

7. Contains Manganese

One serving of strawberries provides 28 percent of the recommended daily allowance of manganese. The component helps support your nervous system, including the prevention of neurological disorders and overall brain health. Based on scientific studies, the benefits include the treatment of Parkinson’s disease and epilepsy. The high supply of manganese in strawberries is a substantial benefit for men because the mineral helps support connective tissues and the formation of bones while maintaining reproductive sex hormones and healthy blood-clotting. 

8. Helps Support Healthy Pregnancy

Taking strawberry powder while pregnant may improve your overall health during the pregnancy because the fruit is a good source of vitamin B9 called folate, also known as folic acid. Folate supports tissue growth and cell function. Taking the correct amount of folate before and during your pregnancy helps prevent specific, including congenital disabilities spina bifida, while also helping to prevent anemia.
