What it is
Organic dehydrated onions are dried onions that have had most of their water removed. They are made from onions grown using organic farming methods, meaning without synthetic pesticides or fertilizers. The dehydration process concentrates their flavor and extends their shelf life.
Why it's used
Dehydrated onions are used to add onion flavor and aroma to a wide variety of foods. They are convenient for manufacturers as they are shelf-stable and easy to incorporate into dry mixes or sauces. They are commonly found in soups, sauces, spice blends, and prepared meals.
Health notes
Organic dehydrated onions are generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA when used as a food ingredient. They are a source of various nutrients and beneficial plant compounds found in fresh onions. International bodies like JECFA have evaluated onion powder, and EFSA has evaluated onion as a foodstuff. Typical consumption levels are not associated with adverse health effects.
Allergen info
