Dehydrated zucchini flakes – 20kg

Description

Dehydrated zucchini flakes are a plant-based product made from fresh, ripe, and carefully selected zucchini. After a process of washing, cutting, and controlled dehydration, the water is removed to extend their shelf life without losing their organoleptic qualities. The result is thin, light green and white flakes with a mild, natural flavor, ready to be rehydrated or used directly in the food industry, the HORECA sector, and for home use.

🌟 Properties and Benefits

• 100% Natural: Free of preservatives, artificial colors, added sugars, and artificial additives.
• High Nutritional Value: Retains most of the vitamins (A, C, and B vitamins) and minerals (potassium, magnesium, and phosphorus) found in the fresh vegetable.
• High in Fiber: Promotes healthy bowel movements and digestion, making it an ideal ingredient for healthy, vegetarian, and vegan diets.
• Cost Optimization: Drastically reduces waste from expired products in professional kitchens and lowers transportation and storage costs thanks to its low weight and volume.
