Also Known As: Broccoli Powder, Brassica oleracea Powder, Broccoli Florets Powder, Dried Broccoli Powder, Broccoli Vegetable Powder
Part Used: Dried florets and upper stems of Brassica oleracea, finely milled
Description: Broccoli Powder is produced from the dried florets and upper stems of Brassica oleracea, a cruciferous vegetable native to the Mediterranean region and now widely cultivated in temperate climates. The vegetable is harvested when the florets are fully developed but still tender. The harvested material is carefully cleaned to remove soil and debris and then dried using controlled methods to preserve its natural green colour and characteristic texture. Once dried, the broccoli is finely milled into a uniform powder, retaining the visual and structural qualities of the fresh plant.
Brassica oleracea grows as a compact plant with thick stems and densely clustered flower heads, typically reaching 60–90 cm in height. The florets are small, tightly packed, and rich in natural green pigments. When dried and processed into powder, the florets maintain their colour, aroma, and granular texture, making the material suitable for blending into dry formulations, culinary applications, or creative botanical preparations.
The harvested florets and stems are washed thoroughly to remove natural field debris and dried under low-temperature or warm-air conditions to reduce moisture without affecting colour or texture. After drying, the material is finely milled and sifted to achieve a consistent powder that is easy to handle, blend, and use in various applications while preserving the natural integrity of the broccoli.
Uses: Broccoli Powder is used in culinary formulations, vegetable blends, seasoning mixes, dry beverage preparations, and creative botanical displays. Its fine texture and vibrant green colour make it suitable for blending into soups, sauces, and smoothie mixes. It is also incorporated into decorative culinary presentations, educational herb kits, and botanical craft projects where a visually appealing plant-based powder is desired.
Storage: Store in a cool, dry, dark place in an airtight container. Refrigeration not required.
