Dehydrated Red Onion Powder
Dehydrated Red Onion Powder is a finely milled, highly concentrated form of red onion that delivers strong aroma, natural color, and intense flavor in a free-flowing powder format.Produced from fresh, mature red onions, it serves as a versatile ingredient used extensively in food processing, seasoning blends, ready meals, and snack flavorings.
With a vibrant reddish-purple hue and mesh sizes typically ranging from 80–100, it is a popular substitute for fresh onions due to its longer shelf life, ease of handling, and space-saving storage. It offers all the nutritional and culinary benefits of onions without the hassle of peeling, chopping, or spoilage.
The production of Dehydrated Red Onion Powder is carried out under strict hygiene and quality control standards to ensure a food-safe, consistent, and shelf-stable product.
Fresh, high-quality red onions are sourced directly from certified farms. Onions are thoroughly washed using food-grade water to remove dirt, soil, and debris. Cleaned onions are uniformly chopped or sliced into small pieces to facilitate even drying. Sliced onions are passed through hot air dryers at controlled temperatures (55–65°C). The dried onion pieces are milled into a fine powder using industrial grinders.
