Description
Onion flakes are dehydrated pieces of fresh onion, usually white or yellow onion, that have been dried to preserve flavor, aroma, and nutrients. They are light, crisp, and can be rehydrated easily in cooking. They offer the same pungent, savory taste of fresh onions but with longer shelf life and easier handling.
