Description:
A green powder (soluble in water) with a characteristic smell and taste similar to spinach or green tea, which is obtained by dehydrating young wheat grass, that is then crushed to form a powder.

Applications:
It is primarily used as a dietary supplement due to its numerous medicinal and anti-inflammatory properties. Eco powder of young wheatgrass is also utilized in the food industry as an addition to juices, smoothies, soups, and salads.

Description:
A cream-grey powder (not soluble in water) with a sweet cereal smell and a dough-like taste, which is obtained by hydrating wheat flour, i.e. by extracting everything except the gluten itself, which is dried and turned into a powder. In its natural form, gluten is a sticky, proteinaceous substance found in wheat, flour, rye, barley, millet, and oats.

Applications:
It is primarily used in baking, as an ingredient in bread and dough that allows the dough to rise and gives it elasticity and chewiness. Gluten is also utilized as a base for meat imitations, to replace proteins in meatless diets.

Description:
White to light pink crystal (soluble in water) without odor and salty taste, which is mined from the Himalayas, mostly from Pakistan. Its composition, containing many more traces of minerals in comparison to other table salts, contributes to the pink color.

Applications:
It is primarily used as kitchen salt in cooking, but also in food preservation. Himalayan salt is also utilized in making decorative lamps and spa treatments, thanks to its pink color and richness in minerals.

Description:
White coconut flakes, which are obtained by shredding and dehydrating the kernel, or coconut pulp, after removing the shell. It contains vitamins, minerals, and omega-3 fats.

Applications:
It is primarily used in baking and confectionery, to give the flavor and texture of coconut to cakes or as a topping/coating. Coconut flakes are suitable for this application due to their significantly longer shelf life compared to freshly grated coconut. It can be eaten by itself as a snack.

Description:
White to grey crystal (water soluble) without odor with a slightly metallic taste, which is obtained by mining and refining quartz. It is known for its hardness. also known as flint, and is the most abundant mineral in the Earth's crust.

Applications:
It is primarily used in construction in the production of cement and the production of glass. Silicon dioxide is utilized in the food industry as an anti-caking agent for powdered products and in medicine as a stabilizer. This raw material also finds applications in the production of wine, beer, and juices, to remove organic components and improve taste.

Description:
White to light yellow crystalline powder (soluble in water), odor and taste of vanilla, which is mostly (85%) obtained from the petrochemical precursors guaiacol and glyoxylic acid, and partly (15%) from lignin waste, a by-product in the production of cellulose via sulfite process. As an organic compound, it is naturally present in vanilla, and can also be found in roasted coffee and Chinese red pine.

Applications:
It is primarily used as a spice in the production of sweets and sweet foods. Vanilla powder is utilized in the fragrance industry, the pharmaceutical industry, and the production of cleaning products. This raw material also finds applications in the food and pharmaceutical industry, as a substitute for natural vanilla extract.
