Contract Manufacturing:

Sustainable Small-Batch Dehydration

Your Ingredients, Our Expertise

At Zest Element, we offer contract manufacturing services to help businesses transform their fresh produce into premium, long-lasting ingredients. Whether you’re a food brand, farmer, or manufacturer, we provide small-batch dehydration with a focus on sustainability and quality.

✅ Perfect for small & specialty batches
✅ Sustainably processed to reduce waste
✅ Custom drying solutions for various ingredients

How It Works

1️⃣ Consultation – We discuss your ingredient needs, batch size, and drying requirements.
2️⃣ Processing & Dehydration – Using our commercial dehydrators, we carefully dry your ingredients while preserving nutrients and flavour.
3️⃣ Packaging Options – We can return the dried product in bulk or assist with further processing.

Our First Project: Destiny’s Chai

We’re proud to launch this service with Destiny’s Chai, a brand sourcing sustainably grown ginger from a Glass House Mountains farm, Sunny Ginger. (Click link to read their story!!)

First order 25kg of fresh ginger—carefully dried to perfection for their handcrafted chai blends.
