H138DI White Onion, Chopped, Air-Dried, Irradiated, 25-lb Bg/Bx, 1/ea

Savory, chopped onion pieces are prepared from fresh, white onions that have been washed, air-dried, and pulverized into onion granules. Various sized pieces range from approximately 3/16 " to 1/2" in length. The off-white to light beige pieces are a convenient option for adding flavor and texture to food products, including soups, sauces, dressings, and marinades. Popular in almost every cuisine, dehydrated onion spices carry a savory back note and a distinctive, pungent flavor. With a strong and sharp aroma, easy to use dried and chopped onions do not require the hassle of preparing fresh, raw onions that often produce a stinging reaction to the eyes, causing enough irritation to produce watery tears. Foods get a richer and more toasted flavor with onions that have been dried than with a fresh, raw onion. Irradiated for a longer shelf life, the coarse onion granules are easy to measure and pour.
