Production & Sourcing
Dried Chopped Onion is made by first harvesting fresh onions, typically of the bulbous Allium cepa species. The onions are cleaned, peeled, and chopped into small pieces. These chopped onions are then subjected to a drying process, which can involve air-drying, dehydrating, or freeze-drying methods. During drying, the moisture content of the onions is reduced, preserving them and extending their shelf life.
