Celery Powder

What is Celery Powder?

Dried celery powder is the dried and ground form of fresh celery. Celery contains approximately 90-95% water. Therefore, as a result of drying, 1 kg of celery powder is obtained from approximately 10-15 kg of celery. During the drying process, the water in the fresh product is removed, leaving the essence of the celery root. Consequently, the nutritional values of dried celery, especially its carbohydrates, mineral, and protein ratios, are highly concentrated.
