The onion is a fabulously diverse seasoning. Fresh and raw, it can have a powerful bite. Dehydrated it is much milder, but still provides a distinct flavor. Toasted onion flakes are brown and have the flavor we associate with French onion soup. Onion powder is perfect for when you want the flavor without the texture.
Common uses: steak rubs, pot roast, pork, soup, hamburger, potatoes and salad.
