Common names and forms

Cucumber Powder (Spray Dried)

Description

Pure Cucumber powder is a greenish to brown colored powder with faintly woody scent prepared from dried cucumbers. Cucumber is a creeping vine that bears long, green-skinned fruit and belongs to the gourd family, Cucurbitaceae. They are sliced and sun-dried or spray dried under a dehydrator with controlled, moderately heated forced air. Cucumbers may take a little longer to dry as they have high water content in them. Dried cucumbers are then ground to a fine, smooth powder in a food processor. Cucumber powder is considered as a spice in culinary preparations.

Selection Guide

Go for organic cucumber powder without any artificial additives in it. The powder should be free-flowing, without any hint of moisture or clumps. Also, check for its expiration date on its packaging to make sure it has not expired. To make cucumber powder at home, look for fresh and firm cucumbers, slice and dehydrate them and then grind to a fine powder.
