Production & Sourcing
Granulated onion is made through a process that begins with fresh onions, which are cleaned and peeled. The onions are then sliced and dehydrated using a drying method that removes most of the moisture while preserving the flavor. Once fully dehydrated, the dried onion slices are ground into granules of a consistent size.
