Fruit and vegetable ingredients are extracted from a wide range of fruits and vegetables. Available in powder, juice, and paste forms, the ingredients are used in a range of food and beverages including snack foods, bakery products, beverages, soups, sauces and others. While fruit and vegetable ingredients are most beneficial when added in pure form, they can also be used as purees, concentrates, single-strength juices, and powders in products where pure form ingredients are not suitable.

For instance, addition of prune powders incorporates a tangy taste and also improves the fiber content of the foods. Fruits can also reduce the amount of sugar used, as they have a naturally sweet taste, and can incorporate sweetness into the foods and beverages, thereby reducing the need for additional sugar to sweeten the product.
