Strawberry sells on almost every menu in Europe: in milkshakes and bubble tea, in cream cakes and macarons, in gelato cabinets and packaged desserts. For businesses that use it every day, fresh fruit is seasonal and short-lived, and frozen purée takes up freezer space and adds water. Freeze-dried strawberry powder avoids both, which is why professional kitchens and producers buy it by the drum.
Buying strawberry powder for production is a different job from buying a pack for home. Volume, documents, batch consistency, storage and delivery all come into play. This article explains how The Organic Labs supplies bulk freeze-dried strawberry powder to professional buyers across Europe.
Who Buys Strawberry Powder in Bulk?
- Cafés and coffee shops making strawberry lattes, iced strawberry drinks, smoothies and milkshakes
- Bubble tea businesses serving strawberry milk tea and boba drinks
- Bakeries and pastry kitchens using it in cakes, sponges, doughnuts, cookies, fillings and creams
- Gelato shops and ice cream makers producing strawberry gelato and frozen desserts
- Restaurants and foodservice building dessert menus
- Food manufacturers and distributors working at industrial volumes
A single café may use one drum over several months, while a manufacturer plans pallets against a production forecast. The supply arrangement should match how you actually use the ingredient.
Bulk Formats: From One Drum to a Pallet
Bulk strawberry powder from The Organic Labs comes in 25 kg drums, and every bulk size is built from that unit:
- 25 kg: one drum, for a café, bakery or gelato shop putting strawberry on the menu
- 50 kg: two drums, for busier sites and small café groups
- 100 kg: four drums, for HoReCa groups and producers using strawberry all year
- 500 kg: a pallet of 20 × 25 kg drums, for food manufacturers, ice cream producers and distributors
Larger quantities are available for food manufacturers, distributors and industrial production. Prices are on request and quoted per volume, destination and delivery rhythm, excluding VAT.
Estimating How Much You Need
Before asking for a quote, it helps to turn your recipes into a monthly figure. Take the amount of powder per serving or per batch, weigh it once in grams, and multiply by your expected servings or batches per month. Do this for each product that uses strawberry: a milkshake, a buttercream, a gelato flavour. Add a margin for recipe trials and for busier months, as strawberry drinks and desserts often sell more in spring and summer. The result tells you whether one drum, a few drums or a pallet suits you, and how often deliveries should arrive.
Capacity for Recurring Supply
Once strawberry is a permanent part of a range, continuity matters as much as the first delivery. The Organic Labs has a capacity of 60 tonnes per month. When you send a request, include your expected annual volume and how often you want deliveries, so the quote reflects a delivery rhythm that fits your production.
Quality and Documents
Professional buyers usually need paperwork before an ingredient is approved. The Organic Labs is ISO 22000 certified, and bulk strawberry powder comes with:
- A certificate of analysis (COA) for every batch
- A technical data sheet (TDS) on request
- A DNA test through an external laboratory
For confidentiality, certificates and technical documents are sent by email with your quote. None of the 14 allergens listed in EU law are ingredients in this product, and the powder is vegan.

Ordering, Samples and Payment

- Receive the price, dispatch date and the documents you asked for by email.
- Test a sample to check colour, taste and performance in your own recipe.
- Take delivery from our warehouse in Sweden to your door.
One request form covers a price quote, a certificate of analysis, a technical data sheet, a sample and private label. Replies come within 24 hours on working days. Approved clients can pay by invoice in 30, 60 or 90 days.
Distributors and Private Label
Strawberry powder is also bought by distributors who supply their own trade customers and by brands that sell it under their own name. Private label is one of the options on the request form, so you can raise it together with your volume and documents. If you are building a range of several fruit and colour powders, the bulk collection shows what else is available in 25 kg and above.
Delivered Across Europe From Sweden
Importing a fruit ingredient yourself can mean arranging freight, customs clearance and long lead times. A supplier inside the EU takes most of that off your desk. Bulk strawberry powder from The Organic Labs is dispatched from our warehouse in Sweden to your door, anywhere in the EU, as part of B2B deliveries across Europe.
What to Check When Comparing Suppliers
Price per kilogram is only part of the decision. Before you approve a strawberry powder, check:
- The botanical name, Fragaria × ananassa, on the specification
- That the ingredient list reads 100% strawberry, not a blend with sugar, carriers, flavourings or added colour
- The drying method: freeze-dried fruit keeps colour and aroma better than fruit dried with heat
- A certificate of analysis for each batch, and how batch-to-batch variation is handled
- Whether the supplier can keep pace with your volume next year, not only this month
