Dried kale, available as dices, flakes, and powders, is a staple ingredient for snacks, instant foods, bakery mixes, and nutritional blends. Through certified kale suppliers, industries worldwide secure a stable supply of this nutrient-rich vegetable in various convenient formats.
Kale (Brassica oleracea var. sabellica) is a leafy green from the cabbage family, widely cultivated for its high nutrient density and mild earthy flavor. In dried form, kale retains its color and much of its nutritional profile, making it suitable for a wide range of applications including ready meals, smoothies, and baked goods.
Kale is a cool-weather crop harvested from late autumn through early spring in most temperate regions. In countries with milder climates, harvesting can extend almost year-round, ensuring consistent raw material for drying. Quick dehydration after harvest preserves color and quality.
Bulk kale flakes, dices, and powders are packed in 20–25 kg PE-lined bags with a shelf life of 18–24 months. Detailed specifications cover cut size, mesh, moisture, and color. Kale is often sourced together with Cabbage Flakes or Spinach Powder for wholesale buyers.
Private label suppliers offer consumer-ready packs such as jars, sachets, and stand-up pouches. Blends like kale with Carrot Powder or Tomato Flakes are developed for retail and foodservice channels.
Organic kale powders and flakes are certified under EU Organic and USDA Organic standards. Many suppliers highlight sustainable growing methods, traceability, and additional certifications including Kosher and Halal.
