Very popular with consumers, dehydrated vegetables are a way to get more vitamins and fiber into the menu. As many people do not like these foods or do not have time to prepare them daily, acquiring them in the powder version is easy and a huge asset for health.

But what if manufacturers started to include dehydrated vegetable powders in the product manufacturing processes? In addition to making them healthier, it is an opportunity to offer customers healthier foods that are rich in vitamins, creating a stronger connection with the public looking for ways to eat well every day.

To be transformed into powder, the vegetables go through an atomization process that removes the water present while maintaining the vitamins, minerals, and physical characteristics. These inputs comprise one of the product lines developed by Frootiva® Co.

In which processes can dehydrated vegetables be used?

When it comes to dehydrated vegetable powders, one immediately thinks about their use in soup mixes found in small and large markets. But their use is much broader than you think.

Here at Frootiva® Co, the following vegetable powder versions are developed: beets, broccoli, cabbage, carrots, eggplant, spinach, tomato, and watercress.

In addition to tomatoes, other vegetables can be used in the manufacture of sauces and seasonings. In the bakery industry, broccoli and eggplant flours are widely used, as well as spinach powder, to give different colors and flavors to bread.

Carrots and beets are also present in the production of pasta, cake mixes, crackers, snacks, and animal feed. Both vegetables are also used as natural colorings, replacing the artificial versions that are still found on the market.

Dehydrated vegetable powders offer another important advantage for manufacturers: they are easier to be transported and stored. They also do not need refrigeration and have a longer shelf life than fresh vegetables.

Besides dehydrated vegetable and fruit powders, Frootiva® Co develops dry plant extracts and fruit bits, which are dried apple pieces covered with crunchy fruit powder. These snacks can be sold to manufacturers and businesses or produced in private label packaging.
