This dried fruit juice recipe was the result of a meeting with Amparo from @unionrexi at this year’s Biofach 2025 fair. Her booth offered a feast of shapes and colors of the many varieties of dehydrated fruit. Our first reaction was to taste these fruit slices directly. We hydrated it in our mouth, chewed slowly to enjoy the full range of flavors concentrated in these dried fruit pieces. The next step was to try experimenting with them to make a natural juice.

Dried fruit juice recipe

The juice can be made with any type of dried fruit. The recipe below is just one example that we hope will inspire many other recipes. Using dried fruit is a great way to enjoy fruit at any time during the year. Once the fruit is dehydrated, it lasts longer and this gives us a lot of possibilities. They can be added as an ingredient in herbal teas, yoghurts, muesli or even used to make fruit juices and smoothies.

For today’s recipe we chose the 2 varieties of pitaya as the main ingredients of the juice. We added some flavour nuances with other fruits that you have listed in the ingredients. The result is a purple coloured juice, delicious, full of nutrients and antioxidants.antioxidantes.

Ingredients:

• 500ml natural water
• 20g dehydrated pink pitaya from Gandía
• 20g dehydrated yellow pitaya
• 30g dehydrated banana
• 40g dried cranberries
• 2 dried apricot kernels
• 1 small piece of ginger root (optional)

2. Blend everything with the hand blender for 1 minute.
3. Lift the filter and continue blending with the hand blender to filter out the pulp.
4. Finish the process with the mortar.
