Cucumber powder is a powdered product processed from cucumbers.
Processing method
Freeze-drying method: Fresh cucumbers are pre-treated such as washing and slicing, then frozen. Under vacuum conditions, the water is sublimated, and finally ground into powder. For instance, the organic cucumber powder of the KOYAH brand adopts this method, which can retain the nutritional components, color and flavor of cucumbers to the greatest extent. Spray drying method: After the cucumbers are pulped, the pulp is sprayed into fine droplets in a mist form through a spray drying device. It is instantly dried into powder upon contact with hot air. This method has a high production efficiency. For instance, Gold Sparrow's spray-dried cucumber powder can retain the nutrients and refreshing taste of cucumbers.
