Broccoli Powder

Price Comparison of Fresh Broccoli vs. Dried Broccoli per kg

Advantages of Using Broccoli Powder

• Using 11 kg of fresh broccoli, approximately 1 kg of broccoli powder is obtained, which can fit into a small jar.

• Due to volume reduction, the space required for storage is significantly reduced. Broccoli powder is reduced to approximately 1/11 of its volume when compared to fresh broccoli.

• Due to the reduction in volume and weight, it has become an easy-to-transport product. A truckload of fresh broccoli can fit into an area of approximately 2-3 pallets in broccoli powder form.

• It does not need to be kept in cold storage conditions. Storing it in a cool, dry, and dark place is sufficient for broccoli powder storage conditions.

• The growth rate of bacteria is proportional to the water content in dried broccoli. Since the water content of fresh broccoli drops from 90-91% to 10% during the drying process, water activity decreases, and bacterial growth in dried broccoli is limited. Limiting bacterial growth ensures a much longer shelf life.

• As Kurucum Food, we continue to develop technologies related to dried broccoli production in partnership with our sister company, Eksis Industrial Drying Systems, which is a manufacturer of drying technologies. Our projects related to dried broccoli:

• Broccoli juice powder production.

What Is Broccoli Powder?

Dried broccoli powder is produced by drying fresh broccoli and grinding the resulting product. Fresh broccoli contains approximately 91% water before drying. During the drying process, the water content of the fresh product is reduced to very low levels. Approximately 10 kg of fresh broccoli is used to produce 1 kg of dried broccoli powder. The drying process removes the water content, leaving the essence of the broccoli behind. Consequently, the nutritional values of broccoli powder, especially protein, carbohydrates, minerals, and fiber, are highly concentrated. The pack sold is produced using approximately 1 kg of fresh broccoli.
