A circular approach to citrus
Rather than relying only on raw harvesting, the business builds its supply chain around upcycling. Peels and pulps that would otherwise be waste from citrus processing are given a second life as dried ingredients.
For buyers, this means the starting point of every conversation is the raw material: which fruit, from which source, and for which end use.
Begin with a product brief
A citrus ingredient programme should begin with the fruit type, intended application, visual expectations, format, quantity and destination. This context determines which questions matter for preparation and supply.
For example, a visible fruit tea blend may prioritise piece appearance and breakage, while a seasoning blend may require a defined cut range.
The five stages we discuss
Dried peel is generally sourced, prepared and inspected, dried, cut or milled and screened, then packed and documented. The exact controls can vary by product and order, so we confirm the steps that apply to your material.
If your requirement depends on a particular wash step, drying method, cut size or control, include it in the written brief and ask for it to be confirmed and documented.
Drying, size and handling
Drying brings peel to a stable form, and the target moisture and test method are agreed in the specification. Cutting, milling and screening then set the particle size and the amount of fines.
Tell us the size range you need and how you measure it, so both sides use the same definition.
