Onion powder provides terrific onion aroma and flavor, but not texture. Ideal for use in sauces and gravies, spice blends, canned foods, meats, spreads and soups. We like to use onion powder when we don’t have fresh onions around and we can adjust the flavor of a dish by adding differing amounts of the dried onion. Other times we’ll use onion powder to give a dish a more assertive flavor.
