Onion seasoning is a versatile blend crafted from dehydrated onions, often combined with spices like garlic, salt, pepper, or herbs. Popular in global cuisines ranging from American to Mediterranean, it adds depth and savory richness to dishes without the need for fresh onions. This convenient pantry staple can enhance soups, sauces, marinades, and roasted vegetables. Onion seasoning retains some health benefits of onions, such as antioxidants and certain vitamins, but the processing may slightly reduce their natural nutrient content. Some blends may contain added salt or preservatives, making it important to check labels if you're monitoring sodium intake. Lower-sodium options can provide a flavorful and healthy alternative for seasoning meals. Whether used as a rub or sprinkled into recipes, onion seasoning is a quick and flavorful way to enjoy the taste of onions without hassle.
