Vegetable powders are a versatile and nutrient-packed addition to any pantry.

Plus, check out our Organic Vegetable Powders for high-quality, organic options!
Power Up Your Smoothies and Juices
Add a teaspoon of vegetable powder to your favourite smoothies or juices. Vegetable powders like kale and vegetable blends mix seamlessly with fruits, adding a nutritional punch without overpowering the taste. It’s an easy way to sneak in extra greens and vitamins for a balanced start to your day. Experiment with different flavours to find your ideal blend.
Elevate Soups, Stews, Gravies and Sauces
Using vegetable powder as a seasoning base can add depth of flavour to soups, stews, gravies and sauces. Vegetable powders are concentrated, so a small amount goes a long way in delivering rich, robust flavours. This is especially helpful for busy nights when you want a hearty meal without the prep.
Enhance Pasta, Rice, or Grain Dishes
Add a sprinkle of vegetable powder to the water or broth when cooking pasta, rice, or other grains. As the grains cook, they absorb the flavours, resulting in a tasty, nutritious dish. Vegetable powders work particularly well, giving your grains extra colour and enhanced taste. Try a broccoli powder to power up a cheesy broccoli pasta dish! It’s a great way to sneak high-quality and nutrient veggies into everyday dishes that kids love.
Bake Nutrient-Rich Goodies
Yes, you can bake with vegetable powders! Adding a small amount to your bread, muffins, pancakes, or savoury scones can boost the nutrition of your baked goods. Vegetable powder is a fantastic addition to carrot cake or muffins and works well in savoury breads. Be cautious with amounts; start with a teaspoon and adjust based on taste preference. Our Super Veg Organic Vegetable Blend is perfect for adding to any savoury baking recipe.
Make Homemade Seasoning Blends
Combine vegetable powders with herbs and spices to create your own seasoning blends. For example, mixing garlic, onion, and vegetable powders with herbs can make a fantastic all-purpose seasoning. These blends are great for seasoning roasted vegetables, meats, pizzas, casseroles, or as a popcorn topping. Try different combinations to discover a mix that suits your taste.
Boost Salad Dressings and Dips
A dash of vegetable powder can add complexity and nutrients to homemade salad dressings, dips, or even hummus. Just a small amount of kale, broccoli, or vegetable blend powder can make a world of difference, enhancing both the colour and flavour of your dish. Try stirring some veggie powder into yoghurt or cream cheese for a vibrant dip, or whisk a little kale powder into your vinaigrette.
