Can milk tablets be made with pumpkin and carrot powder?
Yes, it is possible to make milk tablets by incorporating fruit and vegetable powders like pumpkin and carrot powder. Using fruit and vegetable powders is a good way to add nutritional value and natural color to the tablets.Should pumpkin and carrot be cooked before being ground into powder?
Generally, yes. Vegetables like pumpkin and carrot are typically processed (such as baking, steaming, or drying) before being ground into a fine powder for use in food products. This processing helps to reduce moisture content for better preservation, improve texture for powdering, and can also enhance digestibility and safety. For example, some pumpkin powders available are made from baked and air-dried pumpkin.
