Dehydrated Onion Powder
Allium cepa L.
Youngcrest supplies dehydrated white onion powder milled from fresh, sound bulbs sourced from the Maharashtra and Gujarat growing belt. The onion is washed, peeled, sliced, hot-air dehydrated under controlled temperature, then graded and milled to the mesh you specify.
The powder is free-flowing, creamy-white and carries the full characteristic pungency of fresh onion without the handling, cold-chain or yield loss. It is the standard base note in seasoning blends, soup and sauce systems, and snack toppings.
