Sun-Dried Onion Powder — 100GMS

Onions are the most widely cultivated species belonging to the family Amarylidaceae, it is widely cultivated across the world today though botanists believe that it originated from Central Asia, most probably earlier India or Iran.  It falls in the category of the oldest cultivated plant across the world and some in various colours depending on the area.  People preferred the usage as the shelf life was longer and storing it during the winters and summer is easy.

Onions have pungent and sharp taste and are largely consumed for their taste but also for the benefits they provide as it has anti-inflammatory and anti-oxidants properties.   They are a source of sulfoxides, Vitamin C, Vitamin B, calcium, iron, protein, potassium, etc.

Dry onion powder can be used as a seasoning or in soups or for marinating food, sauces, dressings, etc.  We can use the same as a spice to enhance the flavour of food or else use it for making chutney or used as medicine in Ayurveda.

Some prefer to use onion powder instead of fresh produce as powder onion is easy to use and has a longer shelf life, if stored in the right manner the shelf life can be upto 2 years as well.

We mostly procure our onions from the local farmers in Chhindwara district of Madhya Pradesh and then we peel and dry the same in the sunlight.   We ground and freshly pack the onion powder so that is is fresh and aromatic.  Svaguna’s sun-dried onion powder is aromatic and flavourful.
