Egyptian Onion Powder

Egyptian dehydrated onion (Allium cepa) from the Nile Delta is supplied as powder, flakes and granules. As with dehydrated garlic, the forms differ principally in particle size, and that is the parameter buyers should specify — ideally as a screen-based distribution rather than a nominal description, since it governs dosing, rehydration and blend behaviour.

Powder is the most widely used form in seasoning manufacture. Granules suit dry blends where a coarser texture is wanted, and flakes are specified where visible pieces or slower rehydration are part of the application. All three are hygroscopic and benefit from moisture-barrier packing, particularly on long or humid routes.

Applications include seasoning and spice blends, soup, sauce and convenience-food manufacture, meat and sausage production, snack seasoning, and food service. Colour is often part of the specification alongside particle size, since excessive drying heat produces a darker product that reads as poorly handled.

The Nile Delta's alluvial soils and the reliable dry harvest window suit the crop, and controlled dehydration preserves colour and flavour. Material passes a cleaning sequence including magnetic separation, and every shipment carries a certificate of analysis for the lot supplied. Specifications are available upon request and can be tailored to buyer requirements. We ship FOB Alexandria with the complete export documentation set; packaging options can be discussed based on order requirements.
