What is organic avocado powder?
Organic Avocado Powder is a nutrient-dense powder derived from 100% organic avocados (Persea americana). Known for their creamy texture and high content of healthy fats, avocados are also a great source of vitamins, minerals, and antioxidants. The avocados used in this powder are carefully sourced from organic farms, freeze-dried or air-dried to preserve their natural qualities, and then ground into a fine powder. Available in two specifications—Organic Avocado Powder and Organic Avocado Juice Powder—this product is ideal for use in food, beverages, supplements, and cosmetics, providing a rich, creamy texture and a wealth of nutrients.
Production Process:
- Harvesting: Organic avocados are carefully harvested at the peak of ripeness to ensure optimal flavor and nutritional value.
- Preparation: The avocados are peeled, pitted, and then either freeze-dried or air-dried to preserve their natural qualities.
- Grinding & Sieving: The dried avocados are ground into a fine powder and sieved for uniformity.
- Juicing (for Avocado Juice Powder): For the juice powder variant, the avocados are juiced, concentrated, and spray-dried to retain the fresh flavor and nutrients.
- Packaging: The final product is packaged in food-grade, moisture-resistant containers to maintain its freshness and quality.
