In some embodiments, the invention provides processes for making a spray-dried whole botanical food powder from a whole botanical food. The processes comprise combining components of a whole botanical food to create a whole botanical food slurry, the components comprising 0-80% whole botanical food, 0-75% skin, 20-80% pomace, and 0-75% seed fiber； adding water to the whole botanical food slurry to produce a mixture with a solids content of about 1-20%； heating the mixture to a temperature between approximately 80 and 200 degrees Fahrenheit； shearing the mixture with a high shear mixer for 10 to 90 minutes to create a uniform slurry； pumping the uniform slurry through a high intensity shear pump to achieve a uniform particle slurry； atomizing the uniform particle slurry； and spray drying the uniform particle slurry to form a spray-dried whole botanical food product. Also provided are compositions made using the disclosed processes.
