PRODUCT SPECIFICATION
ONION FLAKES
Allium cepa
Onion, Allium cepa belongs to the amaryllis family (Amaryllidaceae), grown for its edible bulb. Onions are among the world’s oldest cultivated plants and are valued for their flavor and are used widely in cooking. They add flavor to such dishes as stews, roasts, soups, and salads and are also served as a cooked vegetable.
The onion’s characteristic pungency results from the sulfur-rich volatile compounds it contains; the release of these sulfur-rich volatile compounds during peeling or chopping brings tears to the eyes.
Raw, cleaned onion bulbs are chopped and dehydrated to obtain Dried Onion Flakes.
