Look closely... can't tell what it is? Powdered Olive Oil, but of course! Have ben wanting to play with this for a while... finally pulled the trigger and bought myself a half pound of tapioca maltodextrin.
Derived from tapioca, this powder has been specially designed to have a very low bulk density. It dissolves completely when in contact with any aqueous medium. This product is primarily used to increase the volume of dry mixes and frozen foods. In addition, this bland tasting maltodextrin functions excellently as a dispersant for dry ingredients in low solids preparations. Can stabilize high-fat ingredients and which can then be transformed into powders.
Mixed with olive oil ( a good extra virgin olive oil), it makes a powder that tastes just like olive oil. It is good (and fun) to put on food where you don't want for the (liquid) olive oil to run over.
