A bit about the vegetables used in our bread powder
We try and source as many Australian grown produce as we can, however there are times due to seasonal growing periods we do source from overseas.
Each VegiBread powder sachet has at least 1 cup of veggies in each - although looking at the sachet you would think how?
Vegetables have a high water content and dehydrating removes
all water. So 1 cup of fresh vegetables ends up equalling approximately 1 tablespoon of powder.
