This nutritious vegetable powder is of the absolute highest quality. Spinach is a dark, leafy vegetable that is commonly eaten as a food source.

Pump Up Your Diet With Spinach

This super food is packed with heart-friendly A and C vitamins, folate, and magnesium, and it's also low in calories. However, spinach contains a chemical called oxalic acid, which binds with iron and calcium and reduces the amount your body can take in of these minerals. To improve iron absorption, eat your spinach with vitamin C-rich foods such as orange juice, tomatoes, and citrus fruit.

Spinach Powder — Spinacia oleracea, Germany

Spinach Powder (Spinacia oleracea) — dried and finely milled spinach leaf sourced from Germany, one of Europe's leading producers of food-grade vegetable powders. Spinach is a flowering plant in the family Amaranthaceae, widely cultivated as a food vegetable across temperate regions. The powder is produced by low-temperature drying of fresh spinach leaves, then milling to a fine, vibrant green powder that disperses readily in food applications. The result is a concentrated, convenient form of spinach that integrates smoothly into food and beverage manufacturing without the handling challenges of fresh leaf.

The powder has a mild, neutral-green flavour that is substantially less assertive than fresh spinach — it blends into smoothies, pasta dough, and baked goods with minimal flavour impact, making it particularly useful as a natural green food colourant in applications where colour is the primary goal. It is heat-stable enough for pasta and bread baking applications and disperses evenly into liquid bases. Note: spinach naturally contains oxalic acid; individuals with a history of kidney stones should consume in moderation. Available in 250g, 500g, 1kg, and 5kg bulk. This product is sold as a food only.

Spinach Powder — FAQs

Everything you need to know before you order.

How much spinach powder is equivalent to fresh spinach?

As a general guide, approximately one teaspoon (around 2–3g) of spinach powder is equivalent to one cup of fresh spinach leaf. Fresh spinach has a very high water content — typically around 90% — which is almost entirely removed during the drying and milling process, concentrating the dry matter significantly. This means a small quantity of powder provides the same leaf mass as a much larger volume of fresh. The practical implication for cooking and manufacturing is that spinach powder is highly efficient to use and store compared to fresh or frozen leaf.

Can you taste spinach powder in smoothies and other applications?

Spinach powder has a very mild, neutral-green flavour — significantly less assertive than fresh spinach. When blended into fruit smoothies with banana, mango, berries, or citrus, it is largely undetectable at typical usage rates (1–2 teaspoons per serve). This makes it a practical ingredient for green smoothie formulations, children's food products, and any application where green colour without strong vegetable flavour is the goal. In baked goods like muffins, pasta dough, and flatbreads, it contributes a pleasant green colour with minimal impact on the finished flavour profile.

Is spinach powder a reliable natural green food colourant?

Yes — spinach powder is one of the most practical and widely used natural green food colourants in food manufacturing and artisan food production. Pasta: add to egg pasta dough at 1–2 teaspoons per 100g flour for vibrant green pasta — the colour is heat-stable and holds through boiling. Bread and flatbread: incorporate into dough for a distinctive green tone without significantly altering flavour. Muffins and baked goods: add to batter for natural green colouring — effective in lighter-coloured batters. Icing and frosting: whisk into buttercream or cream cheese frosting for natural green colour. Confectionery: use in white chocolate, cake pops, and fondant where a natural plant-based colourant is required. Compared to synthetic green food dyes, spinach powder produces a softer, more earthy green tone — closer to a natural leaf green than a vivid artificial green.

Does spinach powder contain oxalic acid?

Yes — like fresh spinach, the dried powder contains naturally occurring oxalic acid. Oxalic acid is an organic compound present in many leafy vegetables (spinach, rhubarb, chard, beet greens) and binds with certain minerals — particularly calcium and iron — in the digestive tract, reducing their absorption. At normal dietary quantities this is not a concern for most people, but individuals with a history of calcium oxalate kidney stones should consume spinach powder in moderation and consult a healthcare professional. Oxalic acid levels in dried spinach powder are higher per gram than in fresh spinach due to the concentration effect of drying — a small amount of powder contains the oxalates of a much larger volume of fresh leaf.

What is the difference between spinach powder and spinach flakes?

Both are dried spinach products from the same plant, but the format suits different applications. Spinach Powder (this product, HT.SPINACHK1) — finely milled to a smooth, dispersible powder. Best for applications requiring even colour distribution and invisible texture: smoothies, pasta dough, batters, sauces, beverage blends, and any formulation where a fine powder integrates without visible leaf pieces. Spinach Flakes (HT.SPINFLK1 or similar) — larger dried leaf pieces that retain a visible flake texture. Best for applications where leaf visibility is desired: soups, stews, rice dishes, seasoning blends, and products where flake texture adds visual appeal. For colouring and smoothie applications, powder is the appropriate format. For culinary seasoning and visible vegetable inclusion in food, flakes are more appropriate.
