Q: Will the powder dissolve completely in water?
A: No. Fruit powders often leave fine sediment, so straining gives a smoother drink.

Q: Can I use this as a natural colourant in syrups or desserts?
A: Yes. It can add a deep berry hue, but start small as the colour is strong.

Q: What helps prevent clumping in storage?
A: Keep moisture out, reseal tightly, and use a dry spoon each time.
