Can I visit Nutradry?

Nutradry does not operate a physical retail store.  Nutradry’s Brisbane site is a certified food manufacturing facility producing high-quality food powders for supply to other businesses.  Our manufacturing plant is not open to the public, we must adhere to strict food safety and site security requirements.  Our small pack sizes and samples are only available via the Nutradry Online Store.   Existing and prospective business customer meetings can be arranged by prior appointment.

Do you offer Contract Dry Services?

Nutradry offers very limited contract drying services and these are considered on a case by case basis.  We kindly ask that contract drying requests are put in writing with as much detail as possible and emailed to info@nutradry.com.au.  We then asses the opportunity and will respond asap as to whether it is a suitable project.

 

Does Nutradry make pieces / particulates?

No, our specialty is high quality powders.

Does Nutradry use freeze drying?

No, Nutradry uses a very different technology to freeze drying; it is a low temperature continuous evaporation process meaning it is very gentle on the raw material and is far quicker than freeze drying.  The speed of the process and low temperature means the nutrients, flavour volatiles and colours are not damaged during the drying process.

What is your Minimum Order Quantity?

Most of our range is available in 10Kg minimum order quantities.  Some products are made to order or custom made and minimum order quantities apply.  We also offer a wide range of our products in 1Kg and 200gm packs for direct purchase only online at the Nutradry Online Store.

Where are your powders made?

All of our powders are made right here in Australia at our state of the art drying facility in Brisbane.  Nutradry is Australian made and owned.

Does Nutradry use freeze drying?

No, Nutradry uses a very different technology to freeze drying; it is a low temperature continuous evaporation process meaning it is very gentle on the raw material and is far quicker than freeze drying.  The speed of the process and low temperature means the nutrients, flavour volatiles and colours are not damaged during the drying process.

How do you achieve such intense colours in Nutradry’s powders?

Due to our low temperature evaporation drying process we do not damage the delicate nutrients in the food we are drying.

These nutrients provide the colour in our food, Anthocyanins produces blues, purples and reds, Carotenes give us orange, Lutein generates yellow, green from Chlorophyll and so on. The bright vibrant colours of Nutradry’s powders is further proof of the high nutrient retention we achieve through our drying technology.

How does Nutradry’s drying process compare to other technologies?

Nutradry’s low temperature drying technology works as an evaporation process, meaning it is very gentle on the raw material and uses much lower temperatures compared to other drying processes so the nutrients, flavour volatiles and colours are not damaged during the process.

How does Nutradry’s drying technology work?

Nutradry’s low temperature drying technology is a very gentle drying process that uses low temperatures and the self-limiting properties of the Refractance Window phenomenon to dry a wide range of products into powders. The gentle nature of the process ensures that the organic volatiles from the raw materials are retained in the final powder. This drying technology is exceptional at the retention of flavour, colour and nutrients.

Is microwave or any other potentially nutrient damaging technology used in the production of Nutradry’s products?

No, the only energy used to dry Nutradry products comes from hot water.

What makes Nutradry’s powders sparkle?

You may have noticed that some of our powders really sparkle and are wondering what we add to make this happen? Well, the answer is absolutely nothing.  This sparkle is a feature that is unique only to Nutradry powders, due to Nutradry’s unique low temperature gentle drying process which forms a crystalline structure. It is by far the gentlest method available and is superior to every other method in preserving colour, flavour, aroma and most importantly the precious nutrients.


nutradry online store

How can we get samples of your product prior to purhcase?

Nutradry 10g samples are now easily available for purchase online at https://store.nutradry.com.au/nutradry-sample-bundle-5-x-10g-samples-note-sku-name-in-field-below/.  Smaller pack sizes, 1kg and 200g are also available online at the Nutradry Online Store.

How do I select which samples I am purchasing on Nutradry’s Online Store?

Please see sample item description to purchase and select samples. Note products desired in the text box as seen in the image below:

sample-selection-example.png

What is the purpose of a 10g sample?

The purpose of purchasing/receiving a 10g product sample is for sensory processing (smell, taste, sight) without wasting product and/or making an initial large investment.

What quantities can I order?

Our MOQ for most products is 10Kg.  Please see our  Nutradry Online Store for smaller pack sizes for most of our products.

Why are some products packed in 500g bags instead of 1Kg on the Online Store?

1kg of some of our powders which are low in density (light and fluffy) will simply not fit in the 1Kg bag.  Therefore we pack 500g of these powders for e.g. leafy greens, spinach, kale and broccoli.

Why do only some products have 200g pack size available?

200g pack size is new to the Nutradry Online Store.  This pack size is being slowly introduced to each online store product.  Should you wish to see a particular product available in 200g, please let us know by dropping a line to sales@nutradry.com.au.


product

Are all your products Australian?

All our products are made in Australia but we use both local and imported ingredients.  All ingredients are sourced based on the highest quality we can find.  For our 100% Australian products see our “NutraOz” Product range which we are looking to expand all the time.

Are all your products organic?

No, we offer both organic certified and conventional products – see our “NutraOrganics” product list for our organic certified range.

Does Nutradry make pieces / particulates?

No, our specialty is high quality powders.

Does your Hemp Seed & Active Manuka Honey Powder contain THC?

Nutradry’s Hemp Seed and Active Manuka Honey Powder is made from Hemp seeds that do NOT contain “THC”.

How do you achieve such intense colours in Nutradry’s powders?

Due to our low temperature evaporation drying process we do not damage the delicate nutrients in the food we are drying.

These nutrients provide the colour in our food, Anthocyanins produces blues, purples and reds, Carotenes give us orange, Lutein generates yellow, green from Chlorophyll and so on. The bright vibrant colours of Nutradry’s powders is further proof of the high nutrient retention we achieve through our drying technology.

How do you use Nutradry products?

Our powders are used in a very wide variety of applications including nutritional blends, supplements, snack foods, soups stocks and sauces, baby foods, protein powders, ice cream, biscuits, re-hydration drinks, yoghurt, chocolate, baking mixes…..the list is endless as customers find new applications for our powders!  For personal use, the key to this is to use your imagination.  You can use them however you like, simply sprinkle or stir into recipes, smoothies, snacks and baking.   Wherever you use fruit and vegetables you can use Nutradry powders.

What are some examples of the high nutrient retention in Nutradry products?

Carrot juice powder beta-carotene 1010mg/Kg
Kakadu plum powder vitamin C 28,833mg/100mg
Organic Acai powder ORAC 130,300 umol TE/100gm
Premium Blueberry powder ORAC 106,000 mmol TE/100gm
Beetroot juice powder Nitrite 2180 mg/100gm

What is the difference between active and inactive Manuka honey?

Some Manuka honey contains levels of MGO and some do not, once the bees make honey from Manuka pollen the bee keepers test the honey for MGO content.  The Manuka honey is graded according to MGO levels, the higher the activity the higher the price of the honey.  Nutradry offers “Non-active” which contains little or no MGO but still contains all the other benefits of Manuka honey and we also offer an active honey which contains a minimum level of MGO 100+ in the finished powder.  Anything higher than 100 mg/kg is considered antibacterial.

What is the Nutrient content of the powder?

Being a natural product there is natural variation of the nutrient content in the powders. We do not test each batch for nutrients as this would be very costly but we do know from many years of experience and several University studies that Nutradry has excellent retention of valuable nutrients in the final powder and that the damage during drying is negligible.  A good example is the retention of vitamin C in our drying of Kakadu Plums. All vitamin C is retained and concentrated during drying, this product is tested every batch as it forms part of the COA. From time to time we do test some products to validate the raw material and drying process standards & quality.

We can and do test nutrient levels in specific products on a case by case basis; this is primarily for our contract dry customers’ or customers who purchase a product for a specific nutrient purpose.  Please talk to us if this is of interest (Minimum volumes apply).

application

How do you use Nutradry products?

Our powders are used in a very wide variety of applications including nutritional blends, supplements, snack foods, soups stocks and sauces, baby foods, protein powders, ice cream, biscuits, re-hydration drinks, yoghurt, chocolate, baking mixes…..the list is endless as customers find new applications for our powders!  For personal use, the key to this is to use your imagination.  You can use them however you like, simply sprinkle or stir into recipes, smoothies, snacks and baking.   Wherever you use fruit and vegetables you can use Nutradry powders.

How much powder do I use?

Each product description includes the ratio of powder to fruit to assist you in your calculations.  Our recommendation is to use the amount of powder according to your taste preferences, you can’t overdose on fruit & vegetables!

When mixing Nutradry powders with other ingredients we are getting lumps and the product is going sticky, what is happening?

Most pure fruit and some vegetable powders will absorb moisture from the environment when exposed to air.  This is not a quality fault but merely the nature of fruit and some vegetable powders that do not contain anti-caking additives or fillers to keep them free flow under non-ideal conditions.  If this is occurring it is still perfectly OK to use, just break it up by hand or in a blender.  If blending for use in a commercial product we recommend handling the product in a suitable environment (Humidity controlled facility) or using powders with added anti-caking agents.

Are all your products organic?

No, we offer both organic certified and conventional products – see our “NutraOrganics” product list for our organic certified range.

Are there any additives or fillers in your powders?

We strive to make our powders from 100% pure fruit and vegetables; this is something we are really proud of.  There is an exception for a few of our powders which contain tapioca maltodextrin.  In addition, some powders may contain anticaking agent (Silica), this is widely used in food powders even when you don’t see it on the ingredients list. Many imported powders contain additives and fillers that are not declared on the manufacturer’s specification so it is not possible for the marketer to know what is in the powders they are importing.  At Nutradry we tell you exactly what is in every product, complete transparency. Any added ingredients Nutradry use are put in for good reason but many imported powders add fillers as a cost saving measure or because their drying process cannot cope with making 100% fruit and vegetable powders so they must use fillers as processing aids.

Are your products gluten and allergen free?

Yes, all of our products are gluten and allergen free.

Does the anticaking agent (silica) you use contain any Nano-particles?

Nano particles are starting to show up in some anti-caking agents but Nutradry does not use these, we have confirmed with our supplier that the grade of anti-caking agent we use (where we have to) does not contain nano-particles.  In fact the anti-caking agent Nutradry uses is used in many foods around the world, it has been around for a very long time and is considered safe in all countries including Australia, EU, USA, Japan and many others.

Does your Hemp Seed & Active Manuka Honey Powder contain THC?

Nutradry’s Hemp Seed and Active Manuka Honey Powder is made from Hemp seeds that do NOT contain “THC”.

handling

How do I store the powders?

Most Nutradry powders have a shelf life of 3 years (please check the label).  Store all unopened powders in a cool dry place, ideally less than 20°C at all times.  Once opened it is important to squeeze out as much air as possible and re-seal the bag quickly.  Store the pouch in the freezer or refrigerator where there is little or no moisture.  DO NOT leave the bags opened for any length of time as the powders may absorb moisture from the air and start to lump or cake.  If your product does lump or cake it is still perfectly OK to use, just break it up by hand or in a blender.  Because we do not add anti-caking unless we absolutely have to, our powders may “Go hard” if not stored or handled properly.  This is not a quality fault but merely the nature of dry food powders that do not have anti-caking additives added to keep them free-flow under non-ideal conditions.
