Free dried vegetables or powders derived from such vegetables require no preservatives or other additives- thereby, people looking for additive-free meals or supplements can readily rely on the freeze-dried forms of kale powder. As per a survey posted by Food Navigator, nearly 55% of the respondents feel the need to avoid the use of additives actively- and they form a critical notion behind their buying behavior.
