What it is

Dehydrated onion and garlic powder are dried and ground forms of onions and garlic. They are produced by removing moisture from fresh onions and garlic, often through methods like air drying or freeze-drying, and then milling them into a fine powder. This process concentrates their flavor and extends their shelf life.

Why it's used

These powders are widely used as flavor enhancers in a variety of savory foods. They provide the characteristic taste of onion and garlic without the need for fresh ingredients, making them convenient for manufacturers. You can find them in spice blends, sauces, soups, marinades, processed meats, and snack foods.

Health notes

Onion and garlic powders are generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA for use as a flavoring agent. They are common food ingredients with no specific health concerns at typical consumption levels. International bodies like JECFA have evaluated them, and they are widely used globally. Research suggests potential health benefits associated with the compounds in onions and garlic, but these are not typically associated with the small amounts used as flavorings in processed foods.

Allergen info

Onion and garlic are vegetables and are not among the 9 FDA major allergens. They do not contain gluten.
