POPY TRADE Shake & Enjoy Pitaya Lychee Aroma

Pitaya Lychee Flavour from POPY TRADE Shake & Enjoy

The POPY TRADE Shake & Enjoy Pitaya Lychee Flavour combines two exotic fruits in a single, highly concentrated food flavouring: the gently sweet dragon fruit and the aromatic, floral, lightly rosy-blooming lychee. The flavour family is Exotic & Tropical, with the level of sweetness deliberately balanced – neither cloyingly sweet nor bland. The carrier is propylene glycol (PG, E1520), which distributes the flavour evenly and allows precise drop-by-drop dosing. The concentrate is sugar-free, calorie-free, vegan and gluten-free, contains no artificial colours and is heat-stable and baking-stable. For anyone who wants to dose exotic flavours themselves without buying ready-made mixed drinks.

Mixing into Drinks, Desserts & Baked Goods

Dose sparingly, stir or knead into the desired base and intensify drop by drop if needed. For shakes, smoothies, sparkling water from a sparkling water maker or lemonades, simply add 4–6 drops per 100 g and stir or shake thoroughly. In quark, skyr or yogurt, it is best to stir in shortly before serving so the lychee note stays fresh. For coffee drinks, cocktails and mocktails, a few drops are enough – exotic and fruity, without adding sweetness. When baking, in pudding or dessert cream, work with around 1.5% of the finished mixture and measure accordingly. Especially in hot applications the flavour is heat-stable and baking-stable, so the dragon fruit taste survives the baking process. Those creating their own combinations can mix the flavour into POPY TRADE Glycerin & Propylene Glycol as a base and build their own tropical flavour stash.

Who the Pitaya-Lychee Flavour Is Suitable For

The flavour is for anyone who wants to bring exotic tastes into everyday life: for smoothie fans who mix a tropical shake in the morning, for everyone who drinks sparkling water from a sparkling water maker instead of lemonade, and for home bakers who want to season muffins or creams with a pinch of dragon fruit. It can be used without restriction in vegan, gluten-free and sugar-free diets. Combined with the pairing partners lime, mango and passion fruit, entirely new flavour profiles emerge – such as a fruity mocktail for guests or a summer drink for the office. If you regularly mix larger quantities, head to the Shake & Enjoy Flavour Collection and pick the varieties from the range that suit your own taste.

Ingredients, Carrier & Quality

The flavour is sugar-free, calorie-free (0 kcal), vegan, gluten-free and contains no artificial colours. The formula is heat-stable and baking-stable, so the flavour remains present even in warm applications. It is packed in the Shake-&-Enjoy dosing bottle with dropper cap: precise drop counting, no spills, food-grade direct contact. Country of manufacture is Germany. Flavouring substances developed from natural aromas comply with the provisions of the EU Flavouring Regulation (EC) No 1334/2008; labelling is transparent in accordance with LMIV. After opening, store cool, dry and protected from light so the flavour intensity remains stable throughout the entire shelf life.

Practical Check: How It Works in the Kitchen

Practical check – breakfast example: two tablespoons of skyr into a bowl, 4 drops of Pitaya-Lychee flavour added, stir once. After thirty seconds the skyr tastes of exotic dragon fruit with a lychee finish, with no sugar added. Testers describe the result as tropical and fresh rather than cloyingly sweet – precisely because of the balanced sweetness level of 3. For a 250 ml mango smoothie, 4–6 drops are also enough; if you want it stronger, simply add more drops. If you are cooking with the flavour for the first time, start low and build up – 1.5% in the finished mixture is the guideline, not the lower limit. Unsure about the exact number of drops?
