Disclosed herein is a pulverulent ceramide producing method that enables easily and efficiently extracting and separating ceramide from sugar beet pulp, and efficiently pulverizing the ceramide by spray drying. The pulverulent ceramide can be efficiently obtained by a process that includes concentrating, with and/or without adding water, a sugar beet pulp ethanol extract obtained by extraction of a sugar beet pulp (for example, such as a beet fiber) with ethanol, adding pectinase to the resulting concentrate and performing an enzymatic reaction, performing emulsification after inactivating the enzyme, and pulverizing the resulting emulsion using spray drying.
