Fruit & Vegetable Ingredient Nutrition Guide
Practical guidance for commercial fruit ingredient sourcing, formulation and procurement teams.
Fruit and vegetable ingredients can play different roles in food and beverage products, from flavor and color to solids and texture. A commercial ingredient page, however, should not be treated as individualized nutrition advice.
Whole foods and processed ingredients are different
Whole fruits and vegetables contain structures and components that can change during juicing, pureeing and concentration. Finished-product nutrition depends on the complete formulation and serving size.
For product developers
Use current ingredient nutrition and specification documents, then calculate the finished formula and labeling requirements for the intended market.
