White Onion

Our White Onion from China has a mild to moderate pungent flavor. It is not quite as sweet and has a slightly more delicate flavor than yellow onion. White Onions are the traditional onion for Mexican cuisine, and are best for salsa, sautéed or stir-fried vegetables, in white sauces, prepared salads, and on pizza.

Yellow and White Onion, whether powder, granules, chopped, or minced is a great spice to have on hand in your pantry because it’s used in so many different recipes.

Onion Uses:

• Onion has been stapled in most dishes, especially sautéed and stir-fried dishes.
• Both Tex-Mex and Mexican foods such as burritos filled with scrambled eggs or refried beans benefit from the addition of onion.
• Is delicious in beef, pork, and chicken spice rubs and marinades.
• Gives flavor to homemade French fries, hash browns, or home-style potatoes.
• Almost any type of dip spread can utilize the enticing flavor of onion, and if it’s in a powdered or granular form, it will flow more easily throughout the smooth concoction, so you get a taste of onion in each bite.
• The breading used from fried chicken, fish, or onion rings tastes better with a healthy dash of onion granules.
• Onion Granules can also be added to your stockpot when you are ready to make some beef, chicken, shrimp, fish, or other types of stocks, which can be frozen and thawed as needed for recipes.
