Product Portfolio

Dehydrated Onion Product Range

Export-grade flakes, kibbled, powder, granules and organic cuts from Gujarat dehydration plants.

Dehydrated Onion Flakes

High-volume white onion flakes with strong rehydration performance — the workhorse cut for soups, sauces and ready meals.

Typical Spec: Moisture often ≤5–6%; cream-white colour; foreign matter controlled per buyer COA.
Applications: Soup bases, ready meals, snack toppings, foodservice kitchens.

Kibbled / Chopped Onion

Larger cut pieces for visual identity in industrial cook-up and seasoning blends where flake size matters.

Cut Profile: Uniform kibbled/chopped pieces sized to buyer mesh or piece-size sheets.
Applications: Instant noodles, marinades, meat processing, seasoning houses.

Onion Powder

Fine mesh powder for dry mixes, rubs, snacks and industrial seasonings — US HTS powder line carries higher MFN duty; quote landed cost carefully.

Mesh: Buyer-specified mesh (commonly 40–100+); free-flowing, low caking with proper packaging.
Applications: Spice blends, snack dusting, sauces, meat brines, private-label jars.

Granules & Minced

Intermediate particle sizes bridging flakes and powder for controlled dispersion in dry and wet systems.

Positioning: Consistent granulation for automated dosing lines and retail spice formats.
Market Demand: Seasoning manufacturers and private-label spice programmes.

Fried Onion

Crispy fried onion for foodservice and retail topping use. Classification may fall under Chapter 20 when oil-fried/further prepared — confirm HS with your broker.

Use Case: Biryani toppings, catering packs, QSR and HORECA distribution.
Note: Separate from HS 0712.20 dried onion not further prepared.

Organic Dehydrated Onion

NPOP-certified organic flakes and powder for EU and US clean-label programmes — typically +25–50% indicative premium vs conventional.

Certifications: NPOP with USDA/EU organic pathways via accredited certifiers where required.
