Organic White Onion Powder, 75g

Product Description

Onion powder is made from dehydrated onions, giving it a concentrated flavor that pairs well with many foods. Using onion powder when cooking offers health benefits because it contains some nutrients, but in small amounts, meaning you can’t rely on it to meet your daily recommended totals. Look for onion powder in the spice aisle of your supermarket and be careful not to confuse it with onion salt. Onion powder has an intense flavor, but is very low in salt, with just 2 mg per teaspoon. This makes it a good substitute for salt in many recipes, including burgers, salads and soups. The daily recommended intake for sodium is no more than 2,300 mg, a number that many Americans exceed. Cutting back on salt by using onion powder when cooking can help reduce your risk of developing high blood pressure, heart disease and stroke.
