Provided is a production method for dehydrated vegetable powder that does not contain additives and that can be quickly reconstituted (reconstituted in about 10 seconds to one minute) to a grated state by adding cold water, and from which the original freshly grated taste and texture of vegetables can be reproduced. The production method for dehydrated vegetable powder has the following: in this order, a step for dehydrating raw vegetables that uses a method other than vacuum freeze drying and a step for vacuum freeze drying and a vegetable pulverizing step that comes between the step for dehydrating raw vegetables that uses a method other than vacuum freeze drying and the step for vacuum freeze drying, or follows the step for vacuum freeze drying. The production method for dehydrated vegetable powder is characterized by the following: (1) the step for dehydrating raw vegetables that uses a method other than vacuum freeze drying is for dehydrating so that vegetable weight is 10-95wt%, taking raw vegetables as a reference (2) the step for vacuum freeze drying is for dehydrating so that the water content of vegetables is no more than 5wt%, taking raw vegetables as a reference and (3) the step for pulverizing is for pulverizing so that the median size of dehydrated vegetable powder is no more than 600mum.本發明係提供一種不含添加劑,以冷水即可迅速恢復泥狀的狀態(約10秒~1分鐘即可恢復),且可重現蔬菜原有的剛磨為泥狀時的風味、口感之乾燥蔬菜粉末之製造方法。本發明之乾燥蔬菜粉末之製造方法,係具有依序為以真空冷凍乾燥以外之方法乾燥原料蔬菜之步驟,以及真空冷凍乾燥之步驟,且於前述以真空冷凍乾燥以外之方法進行乾燥步驟,與前述真空冷凍乾燥步驟之間,或於前述真空冷凍乾燥步驟之後,具有粉碎蔬菜之步驟,本發明之乾燥蔬菜粉末之製造方法特徵為:(1)前述以真空冷凍乾燥以外之方法進行乾燥之步驟,係以原料蔬菜為基準,使蔬菜的重量成為10~95重量%而進行乾燥之步驟,(2)前述真空冷凍乾燥之步驟,係以原料蔬菜為基準,使蔬菜的水份量成為5重量%以下而進行乾燥之步驟,(3)前述粉碎之步驟,係使乾燥蔬菜粉末之中值粒徑成為600μm以下而進行粉碎之步驟。
