Dried onion flakes

Dried onion flakes are small dehydrated onion slices, commonly used as a seasoning in various culinary preparations. This ingredient provides the characteristic flavor and intense aroma of fresh onion, but with the advantage of having greater durability and ease of storage.

The origin of dried onion flakes comes from the dehydration process of fresh onions, a traditional technique used to preserve their properties and concentrate their flavor. This ingredient is very popular in international cuisine, especially in quick recipes and spice blends, as it allows for adding a touch of onion without the need to peel or chop fresh onions.

Regarding their properties, dried onion flakes contain antioxidants, B-complex vitamins, and sulfur compounds that may help improve cardiovascular health and strengthen the immune system. Being dehydrated, they concentrate these nutrients, although the texture and flavor change slightly compared to fresh onions.

Depending on the country in Latin America, dried onion flakes may also be known as: dehydrated onion flakes, dried onion chips, or simply onion flakes. This ingredient is ideal for soups, stews, dressings, marinades, and spice blends, making it easy to incorporate the flavor of onion into recipes effortlessly.
