What is Onion Powder?
Onion powder (Hindi: Pyaaz Powder) is made from premium-grade onions that are dehydrated and finely ground into a smooth, free-flowing powder. Our single-origin product comes from carefully selected onion varieties grown in Maharashtra’s fertile agricultural regions. The onions are harvested at peak ripeness, dried using traditional methods, and milled to a consistent, fine texture. This powder is 100% pure onion—no fillers, no additives, no preservatives—making it ideal for both home cooks and professional food manufacturers.

How to Use
In Cooking & Culinary Applications: Use 1 tablespoon of onion powder to replace approximately 1 medium fresh onion in curries, gravies, soups, and stews. Add directly to dry spice blends or wet pastes; it rehydrates quickly and distributes evenly. Ideal for making masala powders, garam masala variations, and seasoning mixes. Professional food manufacturers use it in ready-to-eat meals, instant noodle seasonings, and snack coatings.
Ayurvedic Wellness Preparation: Traditionally, onion powder is incorporated into warm ghee or oil-based preparations and added to cooked grains or vegetables to support healthy digestion. Some practitioners blend it into herbal formulations designed to support overall vitality.
Dry Spice Blends & Seasonings: Mix with other ground spices (turmeric, coriander, cumin) to create custom masala blends. Use as a dry rub for roasted vegetables, grains, or plant-based proteins.
Storage Instructions
Store in an airtight container in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and moisture. Properly stored onion powder maintains its flavour and potency for 12–18 months. In humid climates, consider storing in a glass jar with a desiccant packet or in the refrigerator to extend shelf life. Once opened, use within 6 months for optimal flavour intensity.

Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Is onion powder vegan and free from allergens?
A: Yes, onion powder is 100% plant-based and vegan. It contains no common allergens (nuts, gluten, soy, dairy). However, it is processed in a facility that handles multiple spices; if you have severe allergies, please contact us for detailed facility information.
Q: How does onion powder compare to fresh onions nutritionally?
A: Dehydration concentrates the natural compounds found in fresh onions, including quercetin and sulphur compounds. While some heat-sensitive vitamins may be reduced, the overall nutrient density per gram is higher than fresh onions. It is an excellent way to incorporate onion’s traditional wellness benefits into daily cooking.
Q: Can I use onion powder in all recipes that call for fresh onions?
A: Yes, with a simple conversion: 1 tablespoon of onion powder ≈ 1 medium fresh onion. Since powder is dehydrated, it rehydrates in wet dishes (curries, soups, gravies) and distributes evenly. For raw applications (salads, fresh salsas), fresh onions are preferable.
Q: What is the shelf life of onion powder?
A: When stored in an airtight container in a cool, dry place, onion powder remains fresh and flavourful for 12–18 months. Proper storage is key; exposure to moisture or heat will reduce shelf life.
Q: Is this product certified for export and food safety?
A: Yes. Patil Foods holds FSSAI certification (11525996000558) and all onion powder is lab-tested for purity, moisture, and microbial safety. We meet international food safety standards and export to the US, UK, Canada, Australia, and Southeast Asia. Detailed Certificates of Analysis are available for bulk orders.
