Spinach Powder is made from dehydrated, nutrient-rich spinach leaves and is widely valued for its deep green color, earthy taste, and high iron, calcium, and vitamin content. India’s Desi (Pusa Palak) and Hybrid (Green Giant) varieties are primarily used due to their intense pigmentation and fast maturity. Export-grade spinach powder is 100% natural and free from additives, catering to health food, nutraceutical, bakery, and pet food industries across the USA, Germany, UAE, Japan, and Europe. Organic-certified variants are gaining popularity in premium markets.
