What it is

Spinacia oleracea leaf powder is made from dried spinach leaves that have been ground into a fine powder. It is a concentrated form of spinach, retaining many of its nutrients and its characteristic green color.

Why it's used

Manufacturers add spinach powder as a natural source of green color and nutrients in food products. It is often found in health-focused items like protein powders, smoothies, and energy bars, where it can boost the nutritional profile without significantly altering the flavor.

Health notes

Spinach powder is generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA when used as a food ingredient. It is a source of vitamins and minerals, and consuming it as part of a balanced diet is associated with general health benefits. JECFA has evaluated spinach and its components, but no specific regulatory limits for the powder form are typically set. Evidence does not suggest adverse health effects from typical dietary intake.

Allergen info

Spinach powder is not derived from any of the nine major allergens recognized by the FDA. It does not contain gluten.
