RED ONION POWDER

Onion powder is made from dehydrated onions, giving it a concentrated flavor that pairs well with many foods. Using onion powder when cooking offers health benefits because it contains some nutrients, but in small amounts, meaning you can't rely on it to meet your daily recommended totals.

Calcium is a nutrient that your body needs for strong bones and teeth, but also plays a role in nerve transmission and healthy functioning of your muscles. A teaspoon of onion powder contains 9 mg of calcium. Using onion powder in your favorite recipes ramps up the flavor without adding a significant amount of fat and calories. Keeping your diet moderate in both allows you to control your weight, which reduces the risk of several health conditions, including heart disease and diabetes.
