Organic Onion Puree

Organic onion puree is made from whole organic onions that have been cooked, pureed, and sometimes strained. It is used to add the concentrated flavor and aroma of onions to foods. The organic certification means the onions were grown without synthetic pesticides or fertilizers.

Manufacturers use organic onion puree as a flavoring ingredient to impart a savory, pungent taste to a variety of foods. It is commonly found in dressings, sauces, marinades, soups, and prepared meals. Its concentrated form allows for consistent flavor delivery.

Organic onion puree is generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA when used as a food ingredient. Onions are a source of various nutrients and antioxidants. International bodies like JECFA have evaluated onion and onion extracts, but no specific ADI is typically set for such whole food ingredients. Research is ongoing into the specific health benefits of compounds found in onions.
