Frequently Asked Questions

for our Dehydrated Red Onion

How is Dehydrated Red Onion different from White and Pink?

Red onion is the most pungent and spicy of the three. It contains anthocyanins, which give it the deep purple/red color. While White is preferred for aesthetic neutrality (no color bleeding) and Pink for sweetness, Red is used when a strong, traditional "onion" kick and visible color specks are desired in the food product.

Why does Red Onion Powder sometimes look grey?

This is natural. The deep purple skin of the red onion, when ground with the white flesh, blends to create a pinkish-grey or purplish-grey powder. It is not an indication of poor quality but rather proof that genuine red onion with skin was used.

Can you supply organic certified dehydrated red onion?

Yes, we supply certified organic dehydrated red onion meeting NPOP (India), EU Organic, and USDA Organic standards.

Do you provide samples and what export documentation is included?

Yes, we provide pre-shipment samples. Documentation includes: Commercial Invoice, Packing List, Bill of Lading, COA, Phytosanitary Certificate, and Certificate of Origin.

What are your minimum order quantities (MOQs)?

Standard MOQ is 1000 kg (1 Metric Ton).

How do you ensure consistent quality?

We source from the Nashik and Mahuva regions during the prime Rabi season to ensure high solid content. Our optical color sorting ensures that the ratio of purple skin to white flesh is consistent in every batch.
