Apple Powder

Apple powder is a versatile fruit powder made from dried apples that have been finely ground. It’s a convenient way to enjoy the flavor and nutrients of apples in a shelf-stable, easy-to-use form for smoothies, baking, and natural remedies. Let’s break it down.

Apple Powder is made by drying apples (either whole fruit, juice, or pomace) and grinding them into a fine powder. Flavor: naturally sweet, mildly tangy, depending on apple variety. Used as a flavoring, natural sweetener, and nutritional booster.

Nutritional Profile (per 10g / 1tbsp, unsweetened apple powder)

• Calories: 35–40
• Carbohydrates: 9–10g (mainly natural fruit sugars)
• Fiber: 1–2g (varies by brand)
• Vitamin C: Small amounts (reduced in drying)

👉 Like dried apples, nutrients are more concentrated, but some vitamin C is lost in drying.

Things to Keep in Mind

• Vitamin C: Lower than fresh apples; for full immune benefits, combine with fresh fruits.
• Portion size: Concentrated fruit sugars → best in moderation.
