Dehydrated onions, also known as dried onions, are a popular, shelf-stable alternative to fresh onions. By removing moisture from the fresh onion bulb, the product retains its flavor and aroma while extending its shelf life considerably. These onions are available in flakes, chopped, minced, granules, or powder form, making them versatile for use in spice blends, ready-to-eat foods, sauces, soups, gravies, and dry mixes.
At Anterra Commodities LLP, we specialize in the bulk export of premium-quality dehydrated onions, processed under stringent hygiene and quality protocols. Our products are sourced from trusted farmers and dehydration units in Gujarat, India — a major hub for onion processing.
