Onion Granules
Dried Onion Granules for Soups and Seasonings
Onion granules are dried onion broken to a 1–3 mm granule instead of a powder, chosen where visible onion pieces and slower flavour release are wanted in the finished product. They are used in instant soups, sauce and marinade mixes, bread and cracker toppings, snack seasonings and meat products. PERDIST compares granule size (sieve analysis), colour, moisture and microbiological values against the supplier specification for wholesale onion granule requests and offers toasted and untoasted options with their documents. For wholesale onion granules the granule size, colour and moisture expectations are taken up front, and a sample with the analysis document accompanies the quotation. For meat and seasoning producers, packaging options and delivery frequency are planned together. For repeat orders the stock cycle is arranged so the specification stays consistent.
