Origin and production
" SPINACH POWDER FOR PASTA, BREAD, GNOCCHI AND SAUCES ".
Spinach powder is made from freshly harvested spinach, which is gently dried immediately after harvesting and then finely ground. The low processing temperature ensures that the flavor, color, and natural properties are preserved. The powder consists of 100% spinach, without any additives, fillers, or colorings.
Taste and aroma
The powder has a mild, slightly herbal flavor with a gentle, earthy note. It adds a natural green color to dishes and lends them a subtle vegetable component that blends well with flour, eggs, oil, or dairy products – ideal for savory or neutral recipes.
Application
Spinach powder is a versatile culinary ingredient, especially valued in the production of:
-
Pasta and gnocchi: For green dough, simply add 1-2 teaspoons to the pasta dough. This ensures a vibrant color and mild flavor.
-
Bread and rolls: Ideal for coloring dough or as a decorative layer in savory breads.
-
Sauces and soups: For thickening and coloring, especially in cream or cheese sauces. Stir in shortly before the end of the cooking time.
-
Dips and spreads: Add to cream cheese, quark or hummus for green color and a light vegetable note.
-
Smoothies and bowls: For natural color and a plant-based component without additives.
It is easy to measure and stir in, as it dissolves well. For best results, mix the powder with a little liquid (e.g., water, milk, or oil) before further processing.
Interesting facts
Spinach powder offers a space-saving and long-lasting alternative to fresh spinach. It is frequently used in food production and gastronomy to add color, texture, and a natural vegetable character to dishes. In doughs, pasta, or fillings, it ensures a uniform green color without artificial additives.
