Dehydrated Onion

Dehydrated Onion

EverydayDried

Dehydrated onion is a shelf-stable form of fresh onion created by removing moisture through air-drying or freeze-drying, which intensifies its savory-sweet flavor. The dried flakes or granules retain most of the onion’s nutrients in concentrated form and are commonly rehydrated in water or added directly to soups, spice blends, and marinades for convenient flavor enhancement. This low-calorie ingredient provides a practical alternative to fresh onions while offering extended storage capabilities.
