California Onion Powder
California Onion Powder
California Onion Powder, Allium cepa, is also called bulk onion powder, wholesale onion powder, onion powder, or California style onion powder. It comes from sweet onions picked at their peak flavor, then dehydrated and milled into a fine, blendable powder.
Onions come in many forms, and they get their potent, tear-inducing pungency from sulfur-based compounds. A member of the Allium family, they related to chives and shallots, which helps explain why these vegetables are all so pungent. Onions rank fourth in US vegetable consumption, behind heavy hitters like potatoes, tomatoes, and sweet corn. Their versatility gives them enormous appeal, appearing in everything from bread toppings to meatballs.

Flavor Profile
Onion Powder is sweet and piquant. It delivers a savory, deep onion flavor without the aggressive sharpness of raw onion. The dehydrating and milling process enhances the onion’s natural sugars.
How to Use
Onion Powder is best used where it can be blended smoothly into a dish during the meal preparations. Add it to Glazed Meatballs with Soba Noodles for a fragrant cold salad. Add it to your mixture for rich and flavorful Turkey Burgers. Whisk it into a DIY Dry Rib Rub. Stir a tablespoon into Pineapple Turmeric Sauerkraut and let it season your pickling. It’s wonderful with savory bread, so incorporate it into Naan or include it in the buttery topping for Dill Focaccia. Because onions are found just about everywhere, feel free to add this into marinades or sauces, particularly if you want a fresh bite of onion as the accent at the end.
Onions are phenomenally cooperative with other herbs and spices. While they go with just about any savory food or cuisine imaginable, they pair exceptionally well with garlic, ginger, chiles, vinegar, tomatoes, tarragon, red wine, turmeric, and yogurt.
