Process for producing vegetable seasoning powder mix

Abstract

A process for producing a salt-free vegetable seasoning powder mix composition from carrot peels, potato peels, squash peels, and onion peels is disclosed. The process comprises washing the peels, draining and drying, dehydrating in a dehydrator at 52–57°C (125–135°F) for 8 to 12 hours, grinding the dehydrated peels into a fine powder, mixing the resulting powders together, and packaging the mixed powder. The process adds no salt, preservatives, artificial coloring, or flavoring, and converts vegetable peels otherwise discarded as waste into a shelfstable seasoning powder.
