✦ Concentrated carbohydrate (~340 kcal/100g dry) ✦ Very low fat in dry form ✦ Most vitamin C lost during dehydration ✦ Can be used as a soup or gravy thickener

Raw instant potato powder (dehydrated potato flakes or granules) is the dry, unrecombined product before water or milk is added. In its dry form it is very energy-dense (~340 kcal/100g) as a concentrated source of carbohydrate, with minimal fat. It retains starch and some minerals from potato but loses most of its vitamin C during dehydration. It is used as a convenience food base or as a thickening agent in soups and gravies.

🍳
Preparation note

Store instant potato powder in a cool, dry place in an airtight container; moisture causes clumping and spoilage. As a recipe thickener, whisk a tablespoon of the dry powder into simmering soup or gravy at the end of cooking.

Why are some phytochemicals missing? Nutriofia tracks over 50 bioactive plant compounds — including allicin, betanin, glucosinolates, lignans, and polyphenols — but comprehensive measurement data simply doesn't exist yet for most foods. Unlike vitamins and minerals, phytochemical analysis is still an active area of food science research. When a compound doesn't appear here, it means no published measurement exists for this food, not that the food lacks it. We update our database as new data becomes available.
