Broccoli Powder

Price Comparison of Fresh Broccoli vs. Dried Broccoli per kg

Advantages of Using Broccoli Powder

• Using 11 kg of 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 1/11th of the volume of 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 approximately 2-3 pallets in broccoli powder form.

• It does not require cold storage conditions. Keeping it in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight is sufficient for broccoli powder storage conditions.

• The growth rate of bacteria is proportional to the water content in dried broccoli. During the drying process, the water content of fresh broccoli drops from 90-91% to 10%, which lowers water activity and limits bacterial growth in dried broccoli. 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, a manufacturer of drying technologies. Our projects related to dried broccoli:

• Broccoli juice powder production.

Nutritional Values

What is in the Broccoli Powder Pack?

The broccoli powder pack contains 5 single-use sachets of approximately 10 g each. 5 sachets of broccoli powder are sold in a single package.

What is Broccoli Powder?

Dried broccoli powder is the ground form of the product obtained by drying fresh broccoli. Fresh broccoli contains approximately 92% water before drying. Through drying, the water content in the fresh product is reduced to very low levels. As a result of drying, approximately 1 kg of dried broccoli powder is obtained from 10 kg of broccoli. During the drying process, the water in the fresh product is removed, leaving the essence of the broccoli. Therefore, the nutritional values of broccoli powder, especially protein, carbohydrates, minerals, and fiber, are highly concentrated. The sold package is produced using approximately 500 g of fresh broccoli.
