Dried Onion

Dried onion is a practical kitchen ingredient obtained by dehydrating fresh onion, which preserves its intense flavor and aroma. It is produced in the form of flakes, granules, or powder and serves as an excellent substitute for fresh onion when convenience or shelf life matters. It is used to season soups, sauces, marinades, meat mixtures, dips, and savory baked goods. Dried onion is less pungent than raw onion, but develops a full, sweet flavor when cooked. It is also suitable for instant spice blends and seasoning mixes. Compared to fresh onion, it has a significantly longer shelf life and requires no preparation.
