PRODUCT OVERVIEW
Produced from carefully selected fresh onions that are peeled, sliced into uniform pieces, and hot-air dehydrated to produce crisp, light flakes. Unlike powder, flakes provide visible texture and rapid rehydration — preferred for pizza toppings, soups, and seasoning blends. Available in 3–6 mm standard cut and custom sizes. Rigorous colour grading ensures uniform white to light yellow appearance with no browning.
