Dehydrated Chives Flakes & Powder

Dehydrated Chives Flakes & Powder

This is our vibrant-green chives grade — a slower, lower-temperature drying cycle than our other chives line, run to hold onto colour for applications where visual appeal on the finished product matters, like a biscuit topping or a chip seasoning dust that needs to read as fresh green on shelf.

Four Cut Sizes, Not One Range

Rather than a single particle-size range, this line is cut to four fixed sizes on request — 1x1mm, 2x2mm, 3x3mm and 5x5mm — plus a milled powder. That level of grading control exists because the applications this grade goes into are more visually particular than a typical seasoning blend: potato chip and biscuit manufacturers coating a product surface need a consistent, fine, evenly-adhering flake, while soup and instant-food producers can work with a coarser cut. Powder is milled separately for formulations needing full dispersion rather than a visible piece.

Processing

Fresh green chives are inspected and graded on arrival, then cut to the requested size and dried under a controlled, lower-temperature hot-air cycle designed to protect colour over speed. Dried product is sieved for particle consistency, metal-detected, and packed in PP bags followed by a carton box to protect colour retention in transit and storage.

Where It’s Used

Biscuit and snack manufacturers use this grade specifically for its colour — a pale or faded chives flake doesn’t read well on a finished product surface. Potato chip seasoning is the same story: a fine, bright-green flake or powder is part of what makes the seasoning look appetising on the bag. Instant food, RTE mixes and soup manufacturers use either flakes or powder depending on whether the finished product should show visible green pieces.
