FAQs
Are your powders 100% Australian?
Absolutely! Our fruit powders are proudly 100% Australian-grown and made!
We source our fruit from Aussie farms across Tasmania, Victoria, New South Wales and Queensland.
From farm to pouch, the entire process happens right here in Australia. Once harvested, our fruit is sent to Victoria, where it's freeze-dried, milled into powder and packed, all locally!
100% Aussie fruit, from Aussie farms to your pantry!
What else is in the powders besides the fruit?
Absolutely nothing! Our fruit powders are made from 100% real fruit and contain just one ingredient — the fruit itself!
No nasties, no preservatives and no added sugar. Just pure fruit in powder form, making it an easy and convenient way to enjoy more fruit in your everyday meals!
Are you an Australian business?
We sure are! Lyons Raw was founded by brothers Jack and Tom Lyons from Sydney, inspired by their shared passion for health, great food and travel, as well as their desire to fight food waste while making nutritious eating easy and delicious.
How does the fruit turn into a powder?
Our fruit undergoes a freeze-drying process, where the water content is removed from the fruit. Then we simply mill the fruit into a powder. This method helps preserve the nutrients, flavour and shelf life of the fruit, without the need for any additives or preservatives.
Does freeze-drying retain the nutrients of the fruits?
Freeze-drying locks most of the fruit’s nutrients by removing moisture without high heat, preserving much of the vitamins and minerals in the fruit. Unlike cheaper heat-based drying methods, which can strip much of the fruit's nutrients, our slow, vacuum chamber process protects the fruit’s natural goodness.
What can I use the powders for?
Our fruit powders are incredibly versatile! In fact, we like to say you can (pretty much) add them to anything!
Smoothies, brekky bowls, overnight oats, chia puddings, pancakes, mocktails, protein balls, yoghurt, salad dressings… you name it!
Because we remove the water from the fruit, the natural flavour and colour become more concentrated, making our powders a fantastic way to add real fruit flavour and colour to your favourite recipes. They're especially great for baking, including muffins, cakes, biscuits and icing!

Is it true you help fight food waste?
Absolutely! We’re passionate about reducing food waste at both the farm and consumer level!
At the farm level, because we turn fruit into powder, we can use perfectly good but “imperfect” fruit from Aussie farms that might otherwise go to waste.
At the consumer level, by removing the water from the fruit, we create a shelf-stable powder that lasts for over 1 year! That means less fresh fruit going off in the fridge and ending up in the bin just days after buying it.
Are the powders shelf-stable?
Yes, they are! All of our fruit powders are conveniently shelf-stable, with a shelf life of over 1 year, and don't require refrigeration. Simply store them in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight, and keep the pouch sealed between uses.
That means you can enjoy real fruit anytime, anywhere!
