What are Onion Flakes?

kitchenHerbs Onion Flakes are made from premium dehydrated onions, carefully dried to preserve their natural flavour, aroma, and colour. A convenient pantry staple, our onion flakes rehydrate quickly and deliver the same rich, savoury taste as fresh onions — with no chopping required. 100% pure with no additives, no preservatives, and no artificial flavourants.

Traditional Uses & Benefits

Onion flakes are a versatile ingredient used across South African, Indian, and international cuisines. They are ideal for soups, stews, marinades, spice rubs, sauces, and seasoning blends. Onions are traditionally valued for their natural antioxidant properties and as a flavour base in countless dishes.

How to Use Onion Flakes

Add directly to soups, stews, and slow-cooked dishes, or rehydrate in warm water for 5–10 minutes before use. Use as a 1:4 substitute for fresh onion (1 tablespoon flakes = approximately 4 tablespoons fresh onion).
