Frequently Asked Questions

for our Dehydrated Pink Onion

How does Dehydrated Pink Onion differ from White and Red?

Pink onion acts as a middle ground. It is sweeter and milder than the Red variety (which can be peppery) but lacks the intense sharp pungency of the White variety. Its color is lighter than red onion, making it versatile for dishes where a subtle color and sweet flavor are desired.

Does Dehydrated Pink Onion turn black during storage?

If stored correctly, no. However, because pink onions contain anthocyanins (the pigment giving them color) and higher sugars, they are slightly more sensitive to heat than white onions. If exposed to temperatures above 25°C or high humidity, they may darken (Maillard reaction) faster than white flakes. We recommend strictly maintaining cool, dry storage conditions to preserve the vibrant pinkish-purple color.

Can you supply organic certified dehydrated pink onion?

Yes, we supply certified organic dehydrated pink onion meeting NPOP (India), EU Organic, and USDA Organic standards. These products are cultivated without synthetic pesticides or fertilizers. For organic shipments, we provide a Transaction Certificate (TC) to validate the organic chain of custody.

Do you provide samples and what export documentation is included?

Yes, we provide pre-shipment samples for quality approval to ensure the product meets your specific requirements. Standard export shipments include a complete documentation packet: Commercial Invoice, Packing List, Bill of Lading, Certificate of Analysis (COA), Phytosanitary Certificate, and Certificate of Origin.

What are your minimum order quantities (MOQs)?

Our standard Minimum Order Quantity (MOQ) for bulk dehydrated onion (Flakes, Chopped, Minced, Powder) is 1000 kg (1 Metric Ton), which typically fits on 1-2 pallets. For private label or consumer packaging (e.g., jars/pouches), the MOQ is higher (typically 5,000+ units) due to printing and packaging production runs.

How do you ensure consistent quality across different suppliers?

We maintain strict quality control by sourcing exclusively from the Mahuva region (the prime belt for dehydration-quality onions). We utilize a centralized processing approach where raw material from our network of certified farmers is subjected to optical color sorting (Sortex) and rigorous laboratory testing for moisture, ash content, and microbial load before final packing. This ensures that every batch, regardless of the specific farm origin, meets the exact same export specifications.
