What it is
Onion powder is made from dried, ground onions. The dehydration process concentrates the flavor of the onion. It is used to provide onion flavor without the texture or moisture of fresh onions.
Why it's used
Onion powder is used as a flavoring agent in a wide variety of savory foods. It is common in spice blends, rubs, sauces, dips, and processed meats. It provides a consistent onion taste that is easier to manage than fresh onions in manufacturing.
Health notes
Onion powder is generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA for use as a food ingredient. It is a source of various nutrients found in onions, though amounts are small due to processing. Regulatory bodies like JECFA have evaluated onion powder, but no specific numeric limits have been set. Evidence does not suggest adverse health effects from typical dietary consumption.
Allergen info
Not a major allergen. Onion is a vegetable and does not contain gluten.
