Onion flakes (2 mm): the full flavor of onion without chopping

Onion flakes (2 mm) are finely chopped, dried pieces of onion with a delicious, full and slightly sweet flavor. They are a practical alternative to fresh onion and save you time in the kitchen. No chopping and no teary eyes, but the familiar onion taste that forms the base of countless dishes.

Thanks to the coarse texture the onion flakes retain their aroma excellently and provide more texture than onion powder. At Natural Spices they are available in various packages, suitable for both the home cook and the professional kitchen.

What do you use onion flakes for?

Onion flakes are a versatile flavoring and fit into almost any savory dish. Use them for:

• Nasi, bami and other wok dishes
• Soups and sauces
• Stews and curries
• Minced meat, burgers and meat dishes
• Marinades, rubs and seasoning mixes
• Vegetable, potato and oven dishes
• Salads and dressings

During cooking the dried onion flakes absorb moisture and gradually release their full flavor. For cold preparations you can let them soak for 5 to 10 minutes in lukewarm water beforehand.

What is the difference between onion flakes, onion granulate and onion powder?

Dried onion is available in different textures.

Onion flakes consist of small, finely chopped pieces of about 2 mm. They not only provide a rich onion flavor, but also give a pleasant bite to the dish.

Onion granulate has a finer, more uniform grain and is often used in seasoning mixes, marinades and sauces where the onion needs to be evenly distributed.

Onion powder is very finely ground and almost completely dissolves. Therefore it is ideal for dressings, sauces and dry spice blends where no visible pieces are desired.

Which variant you choose depends on the desired texture and application.

Why choose the onion flakes from Natural Spices?

For a classic flavor combination combine the onion flakes with our Garlic Granulate (1–3 mm). Together they form the perfect base for soups, sauces, marinades, compound butter, minced meat dishes and seasoning mixes.

Store the package tightly closed in a cool, dry place after opening. This way the onion flakes remain fresh for a long time and retain their full flavor.
