Production & Sourcing
Harvesting and Preparation: Fresh spinach leaves are harvested when they are at their peak freshness and nutritional value. The leaves are carefully selected and inspected for quality.
Washing and Blanching: The harvested spinach leaves are thoroughly washed to remove any dirt or impurities. After washing, the leaves are briefly blanched by being immersed in boiling water or steam. Blanching helps retain the color, nutrients, and overall quality of the spinach.
Freezing: The blanched spinach leaves are then rapidly frozen to very low temperatures. The freezing helps retain the spinach’s structure, color and nutritional value.
Vacuum Chamber: The frozen spinach leaves are placed in a vacuum chamber. Inside the chamber, the pressure is reduced, and heat is applied. This process is called sublimation, where the frozen water content in the spinach transitions directly from solid to gas without becoming a liquid.
Drying: As the frozen water sublimates, it is converted into water vapor and removed from the spinach leaves. This is achieved by maintaining a controlled temperature and pressure within the vacuum chamber. The drying process continues until the desired moisture level is reached, leaving behind freeze-dried spinach.
