Homeground
As one the largest growers of fresh carrots and parsnips in the UK, to increase our crop utilisation and reduce food waste, we have been converting our excess carrots and parsnips into dried powder.
In 2022 we launched the brand “HOME GROUND” initially starting with carrot and parsnip powders. We are also in the process of introducing potato powders and more vegetables. We can produce powder from any vegetable product.
Applications Of Carrot Powder
Carrot powder can be used in several products, including smoothies, sauces, soups, beverages, sport drinks, herbal drinks, herbal tonics, yogurts, desserts, snacks, dressings, and baking.
Due to the presence of beta-carotene in large quantities, carrot powders can be added to different food formulations to add colour such as pasta, healthy juices and drinks, bakery, pastry and other sweets.
Carrot powder is also used as an ingredient in protein powders and cosmetics products to provide a natural colour and to nourish the skin with an abundance of vitamins and minerals.
