Dehydrated Onions And Garlic

Dehydrated onions and garlic are dried and ground forms of fresh onions and garlic. The drying process concentrates their flavor and extends shelf life. They are commonly used in powdered or granulated form.

These ingredients are used to add savory onion and garlic flavor to foods without the moisture and texture of fresh produce. They act as flavor enhancers and are found in a wide variety of processed foods, including spice blends, sauces, soups, snacks, and baked goods.

Dehydrated onions and garlic are generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA when used as food ingredients. They are a source of various nutrients and antioxidants found in fresh onions and garlic. International bodies like JECFA have evaluated similar food ingredients. Evidence does not suggest adverse health effects from consuming typical amounts found in food.
