Organic Onion Paste

Organic onion paste is made from whole onions that have been processed into a concentrated paste. It is produced by washing, peeling, and grinding onions, then often cooking them to reduce moisture and intensify flavor. The organic certification means the onions were grown without synthetic pesticides or fertilizers.

Manufacturers use organic onion paste to add a concentrated onion flavor to foods. It acts as a flavor enhancer and is commonly found in savory products like soups, sauces, broths, processed meats, and marinades. Its paste form allows for easy incorporation and consistent flavor distribution.

Organic onion paste is generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA as a food ingredient. It is a natural source of vitamins, minerals, and antioxidants found in onions. International bodies like JECFA have evaluated onion and onion products, but no specific evaluations for onion paste are typically cited. At typical consumption levels, it is considered safe and contributes to the nutritional profile of foods.
