About Dried onions
Dried onions are onion bulbs preserved by removing water, most often sold as flakes, minced pieces, granules or powder. Their colour ranges from pale to golden, and their savoury, pungent-sweet flavour becomes concentrated as they dry; finer forms disperse and soften more quickly than larger pieces.
They are used to season soups, sauces, spice blends, snacks and cooked dishes, either directly or after rehydration. The form and processing method vary, and some products are toasted or otherwise treated. This entry refers to dried onion itself, not a seasoned onion product.
