Olive Powder

What Is Olive Powder?

Dried olive powder is a dried product produced by drying fresh olives and grinding them as a result of production. Before drying, fresh olives contain approximately 80% water. With drying, the water content in the fresh product is reduced to very low values. As a result of drying, approximately 1 kg of olive powder is obtained by using 5 kg of olives. During the drying process, the water inside the fresh product is removed, and the olive essence remains. Therefore, the nutritional values of dried olives, especially protein, carbohydrates, minerals, and fiber content, have increased significantly.

Differences Between Dried Olive Powder and Fresh Product:

Dried olive powder is produced by drying fresh product under appropriate conditions after necessary pre-treatments. As a result of drying, the water content of the product is removed, which decreases the moisture content and increases the ratio of the essence, causing the nutritional values, minerals, and active ingredients in the olive powder to be much higher compared to its fresh natural state. There is a significant difference in nutritional values between consuming the same amount of fresh olive and olive powder, but in terms of benefits, with exceptional cases aside, it can be said that olive powder is beneficial in the same areas as natural fresh olive.
