Spinach powder, 100 g

Finely ground leafy greens give your dough and cooking creations a natural, fresh color and a pleasantly mild spinach aroma. It is ideal for colouring and refining bread, pasta, sauces, smoothies and marinades. Simply mix the spinach powder into your flour or durum wheat semolina to add a subtle green note to breads and homemade pasta. Use for spinach pasta: To prepare, you need 400 g durum wheat semolina, 115 g whole egg and 15-20 g spinach powder. Mix the semolina with the powder and put the mixture into a pasta machine. Gradually add the whole egg and process everything into a uniform dough. Alternatively, you can knead the dough by hand and then roll it out. Then shape the pasta into the desired shape. They only need about 3 minutes in boiling salted water until they are al dente. For particularly creamy variations, you can stir the spinach powder into cream or salad dressings. It can also be used to flavour and lightly colour bread - in combination with dried wild garlic or spinach leaves, the result is spicy and visually appealing. Start with small quantities and adjust the intensity to suit your taste. In addition to the culinary added value, spinach provides valuable nutrients such as vitamins A and C as well as iron, calcium, nitrate and folic acid. Fish and meat also benefit from a marinade with spinach powder: you get a fine aroma and a subtle, fresh hint of colour.
