Onion Dried Flakes ~ Allium Cepa 

Dried onion flakes are dehydrated pieces of fresh onion (Allium cepa) used as a versatile, long-lasting pantry staple. They remain a primary seasoning for both home cooks and the food industry due to their concentrated flavor and convenience.

Key Features

Taste: They have a slightly sweeter and more concentrated flavor than fresh onions, which becomes more intense during cooking.

Texture: They are crunchy when dry, but soften as soon as they come into contact with moisture or are added to juicy foods.

Shelf life: They have a very long shelf life in the cupboard, as long as they are stored in a shady and dry place.

How to use them

Directly in cooking: Add them to soups, sauces, stews or legumes. They will absorb liquids and add flavor without the need for sautéing.

Hydration: If you want to use them in mixtures (e.g. burgers or meatballs), soak them in a little hot water for 15 minutes and drain them.

In baked goods: They fit perfectly in bread doughs, breadsticks or on top of homemade bagels.

Dips: Mix them with yogurt or sour cream to make a quick onion dip. 

Nutritional tip

They retain most of the vitamins and minerals of fresh onions (such as vitamin C and fiber), but in a much more concentrated form. Pay attention to the proportions: 1 tablespoon of flakes corresponds to approximately one medium chopped onion.
