Dehydrated Onion Flakes & Powder from India: Reliable Quality for Global Food Manufacturers

India is one of the world’s largest producers of onions, known globally for their strong pungency, high dry matter, and suitability for dehydration. Dehydrated onion flakes, granules, and powder are widely used by food processors as a convenient, shelf-stable alternative to fresh onions, offering consistent flavour, reduced handling costs, and year-round availability.

Processed from carefully selected Indian onions and dried under controlled conditions, dehydrated onion products retain their natural aroma, taste, and functional properties while ensuring long shelf life and easy transportation.
