Onion Powder

Onion powder delivers a concentrated, savory flavor with a mild sweetness and a hint of earthiness, reminiscent of caramelized onions. Its aroma is pungent yet inviting, evoking the comforting scent of a home kitchen. Finely ground, it has a smooth, almost silky texture that disperses effortlessly into dishes. Originating from dehydrated onions, it's a staple in many cuisines, prized for its ability to enhance flavor without adding moisture. Its convenience and long shelf life make it indispensable in countless recipes.

Notes

Store onion powder in a cool, dark place to preserve its potency. Unlike fresh onions, it won't cause tears but will lose flavor if exposed to light and air. Use it within a year for the best taste.
