About Onion flakes

Onion flakes are dried, crushed pieces of onion, commonly made from white, yellow, or red varieties. Originating from widely used culinary methods, they are a staple in many cuisines including American, Indian, Italian, and Middle Eastern. Packed with natural onion flavor, these flakes are convenient for cooking and offer a longer shelf life compared to fresh onions. Nutritionally, onion flakes provide antioxidants like quercetin, which supports heart health and reduces inflammation. They are low in calories and contain small amounts of vitamins and minerals, such as vitamin C and potassium. However, onion flakes may have added preservatives or higher sodium content depending on how they are processed, which could be less desirable for individuals watching their salt intake. Versatile and flavorful, onion flakes enhance soups, sauces, marinades, and rubs, offering a punch of taste without the need for chopping fresh produce.
