About Product

Z Natural Foods takes pride in bringing our customers a wide range of the most nourishing foods on earth in the most versatile form, and our carrot powder is no exception.

With a deliciously mild sweet taste and aroma, our carrot powder contains a wide range of nutrients that nourish the body. When a food powder is created, the process of removing the water (in this case, air-drying) produces a shelf-stable, highly nutritious end product that creates exceptional versatility.

While it is true that a powder version is not the same as eating a fresh carrot, the idea that we can’t replace fresh food with a powder to nourish our body is simply untrue. There are many significant advantages to using powders; their nutrient density and versatility are several of their many positive attributes.

Our mission is to provide customers with great-tasting, highly functional food with limitless applications in its most versatile form to support a quality lifestyle. So, we introduce Z Natural Foods' Organic Carrot Powder.

Some research suggests that Carrots may contain the following constituents:

Minerals: Magnesium, Phosphorus, Zinc, Copper, Manganese, Selenium
Vitamins: Vitamin C, Thiamin, Riboflavin, Niacin, Pantothenic Acid, Vitamin B-6, Folate, Choline, Betaine, Vitamin A (RAE), Beta & Alpha-carotene, Vitamin A (IU), Lutein & Zeaxanthin, Lycopene, Vitamin E, Beta Tocopherol, Vitamin K
Amino Acids: Tryptophan, Threonine, Isoleucine, Leucine Lysine, Methionine, Cystine, Phenylalanine, Tyrosine, Valine, Arginine, Histidine, Alanine, Aspartic Acid, Glutamic Acid, Glycine, Proline, Serine
Flavones: Luteolin
Flavonols: Kaempferol, Quercetin

This product is 100% natural and minimally processed. Taste, smell, texture, and color may vary from batch to batch. Due to its nature, this powder tends to clump. If clumping occurs, lay the bag on a flat surface and place a towel over the bag. Then pound on the bag until the clumps break up. The towel will help protect the bag from damage.

Suggested Use: One tablespoon twice daily. One tablespoon of powder provides the nutrition of one medium size Carrot.

Mixing suggestion: To increase flavor and nutritional profile, combine with our organic Broccoli, Beet, Spinach, Kale, and Tomato powders for your homemade V8.

Botanical Name: Daucus Carota.
Other Names: Bird’s nest, Queen Anne’s lace, Wild Carrot, Zanahoria.

Parts Used: Carrot Root.
Ingredients: Raw Carrot.
Origin: Packaged with care in Florida, USA.

Certifications: Certified USDA Organic.
