So, as my topic title indicated, I'm interested in trying spinach powder for a natural green. I personally think that naturally-sourced green is very tough to achieve (or if you do achieve green it almost always turns brown eventually).

If I use spinach powder will it end up green--to some degree?
If yes, then what kind of green does spinach powder produce?
And no, I don't like spirulina (I don't like the smell).

Thanks in advance!!

I do not know much about spinach powder, but it sounds worth a try. I remember seeing something on it a good while ago, but the user didn't ever report back about longevity of the color. ETA: I do use tomato powder and it works well, so I would think this would too.
I can tell you that I do love nettle powder. It gives a wonderful, pretty shade of green, almost a lime color that does stay. You can infuse it into oil or you can just add it in the powder form at trace. I have used it plain and mixed with spirulina to give a deeper green with less of the odor (although the odor doesn't bother me).
Have fun experimenting and do show pics and tell us how it lasts!

Oh, nettle! I forgot about nettle. I have some dried and chopped nettle. I'll run it through the food mill three or four times and try that!

I'll try the spinach powder with it.

Thanks!!!!

Your quite welcome! You gotta love those food mills! Have fun and tell us what you think about the spinach powder.
