Kabocha squash powder
Product overview of dried pumpkin powder
Pumpkin is a green-and-yellow vegetable characterized by natural sweetness and a fluffy texture. Kyoto-grown pumpkin in particular is grown in a climate with temperature swings, making its sweetness and flavor stand out. Dried pumpkin powder concentrates this natural sweetness and rich umami of pumpkin and, by processing it into powder form, makes it usable in a wide variety of dishes and processed foods.
Turning it into dried powder makes the pumpkin's sweetness stand out even more, and its vivid orange color brightens dishes and products. Because it has heat resistance, even when used in bread, baked goods, and soups, the color does not fade easily, preserving both appearance and flavor.
Pumpkin is rich in vitamin A and dietary fiber, making it ideal for health-oriented product development as well. Being in powder form, it stores well and has the appeal of being ready to use in an instant whenever needed.
