Red Cabbage Extract (Powder)

Red Cabbage Extract Powder is a premium, concentrated botanical ingredient derived from the vibrant leaves of the red cabbage plant (Brassica oleracea var. capitata f. rubra). This natural extract harnesses the potent nutritional profile of its source, offering a rich concentration of bioactive compounds, most notably anthocyanins—the pigments responsible for its distinctive deep purple-red hue. Sourced from carefully selected, high-quality red cabbage, our extract undergoes a meticulous process to preserve its valuable phytochemicals, resulting in a fine, free-flowing powder. It is an excellent choice for formulators seeking to incorporate a powerful, plant-based antioxidant and natural colorant into a wide range of health and wellness products.
