Introduction
Botanical Essence offers premium Red Cabbage Powder, a vibrant fine purple powder derived from the nutrient-dense leaves of Brassica oleracea var. capitata f. rubra. Through advanced low-temperature drying and milling technology, we preserve the vegetable’s rich nutritional profile while delivering a highly concentrated, stable, and versatile ingredient.
Red cabbage is globally recognized for its exceptional nutritional density. It naturally contains carbohydrates, high-quality plant protein, folic acid, ascorbic acid (Vitamin C), Vitamin A, tocopherol (Vitamin E), as well as essential minerals including copper, iron, selenium, calcium, manganese, and zinc. The distinctive purple-red hue comes from concentrated anthocyanins — potent natural pigments with strong antioxidant properties.
Production Process & Quality Assurance
Sourced from carefully selected cultivation regions known for high-pigment Brassica crops, our Red Cabbage Powder is produced under strict GMP standards. Our proprietary low-temperature processing method effectively protects heat-sensitive nutrients and bioactive compounds. Every batch undergoes rigorous identity testing, heavy metal analysis, microbial screening, and pesticide residue testing to guarantee consistent purity and safety.
We maintain full traceability from raw material to finished powder, offering complete transparency that international buyers and quality-focused brands demand.
