What is Onion Flakes?
Onion flakes come from the bulb vegetable, called an onion. The onion is usually round and has a thin dry skin around its juicy layers. This skin depends in the color of the onion, as does the flesh. The flesh, or body of the onion is made of multiple round layers, that get smaller towards the center. Usually white or yellow onions are used in making dehydrated onion flakes. Onions are cut into tiny pieces and dried until there is no moisture left in them. This makes them shelf stable and an excellent last minute seasoning.
