Onion Powder

One of the most underappreciated spices in the modern American kitchen. How many of us grew up with onion powder in our soups, meatloafs, and hamburgers? Who hasn’t stocked their first apartment with a jar of it? Yet, do we give it any of its due? Never. Well, now is the time!

 

 

Onion powder is made by mincing fresh sweet onions and then drying them out. The mince is then ground into a sandy powder for your desired use. Now, we could go on about onion powder, but why bother? It’s the sweet flavor of onions. A little mellow, no real pungency or sulfur. It offers sweetness without sugar and a savory-ness that supports other spices that want to bonk you over the head with astringency or heat.
