Prickly Pear Puree

Oregon Fruit’s Prickly Pear puree delivers a unique blend of tropical and floral notes, with hints of cactus, star fruit, strawberry, kiwi, and subtle florals. This vibrant magenta fruit adds visual appeal and layered complexity to everything it touches. Its mild, nuanced flavor is best showcased in lighter beer styles like Kölsches, wheat beers, and kettle sours, where its delicate aromatics can shine. Prickly Pear also elevates hard seltzers, RTDs, cocktails, smoothies, and even sauces or syrups with a refreshing, exotic twist. A go-to choice for brewers and makers looking to craft something truly memorable.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can't find what you're looking for? Our team of expertise is here to help.

How many gallons are in a 42 lb box of aseptic puree?

At a 10 Brix average, a box of puree will contain 4.8 gallons of puree.

How do I open an aseptic bag liner?

The plastic cap on the aseptic bag is fitted with an easy open “peel away” tab. For tote use, we offer for sale a reusable custom tote valve. We also sell a handy quick disconnect set up that can be used to quickly snap onto a bag spout to a pump system to easily and quickly empty the 42# boxes or 425# drums.

Will purees alter the clarity of my beer?

The natural occurring proteins in beer, extracted from malt and hops, can create a haze or reduce clarity of the beer. Each fruit contains differing levels of pectin, or proteins, that can also contribute to haze. Our aseptic process deactivates some of the pectins, but different products will have differing levels of pectin in the finished product.

How much acidity or pH will the fruit contribute to my brew?

Our fruit purees all have relatively low pH, which is natural for fruit grown in our region. With a small addition of fruit to your brew, you should not experience a significant drop in pH in the finished product, but the pH level of some fruits, (Passionfruit, Black Currant, Key Lime) will contribute a tartness to your finished beverage.

How does adding fruit affect beverage Fermentation?

Fruit adds fermentable sugars. Aseptic purees provide a more predictable fermentation and reduces the risk of off-flavors relating to the fruit.

Will adding fruit change the alcohol content (ABV) of my beer?

It will change the ABV very slightly, but due to the water activity in the purees, it will not add much unless used in very high amounts.
