Carrot powder is a versatile and nutritious ingredient made from dehydrated carrots. Produced by drying and grinding fresh carrots into a fine powder, it retains much of the vegetable’s natural flavour, colour, and nutritional value. Carrot powder is commonly used in culinary applications to add sweetness, colour, and nutrients to a variety of dishes. It can be incorporated into soups, stews, sauces, and baked goods such as bread, muffins, and cakes, enhancing their taste and nutritional profile.
