Dried onion powder, TAJ, 50g

"Taj Indian Spices Onion Powder is a convenient and versatile spice product commonly used in cooking to impart onion flavour without using fresh onions. Here are its main properties and uses:

Origin and production: Onion Powder is made from dehydrated onions which are finely ground into a powder. This process concentrates the flavour and aroma of the onions, while extending their shelf life.

Flavour profile: It has a sweet and spicy onion flavour, similar to fresh onions but more concentrated. The drying process also gives the powder a slightly caramelised hue.

Culinary use: Onion powder is widely used in a variety of cuisines and dishes, such as the caramelised onion:

- soups, stews and sauces

- meat rubs and marinades

- Salad dressings and vinaigrettes

- Vegetable and potato seasonings

- fillings and coatings for fried foods

Convenience: The convenience of not having to chop fresh onions makes it easier to incorporate the flavour of onions into recipes on a regular basis.

Texture: The fine texture of the powder allows it to blend well with other spices and ingredients, so the flavour is evenly distributed.

Long shelf life: Onion powder has a longer shelf life than fresh onions if stored in a cool, dry place, protected from moisture and sunlight.

Versatility: They can be used as a main spice or combined with other spices to create individual spice blends for specific dishes or cuisines.

Nutritional profile: Although onion powder contains the nutrients found in fresh onions, its main role is to enhance flavour rather than being an important source of nutrients.

Ingredients: 100% dried onion powder.
