Dehydrated Red Pepper
This involves drying or removing moisture from the onions. Dehydrated onions can be stored without refrigeration. Ganesh Dehy Foods is providing the various form of dehydrated onion: dehydrated onion chopped, flakes, kibbled, powder, granules and minced onion. The dehydration intensifies the onion's flavor, so when you're substituting dried onion for fresh onion, you'll need much less. For example, for 1 cup of fresh onion, you would substitute 3 tablespoons of dried onion. Dried garlic and onion allow you to instantly add their strong flavors without the chore of chopping, slicing, or mincing. This saves many cooks' fingers from smelling like alliums and eyes from crying. An added benefit to dehydrated powders is that they can be used in dry spice rubs. As explained earlier, dehydrated onions are low in sodium, fat, and calories, consuming dehydrated onions in place of other spices can help you lower your risk of heart disease, diabetes, and high blood pressure. Dehydrated onions contain many beneficial nutrients, including calcium, potassium, and magnesium. Once onions have been dried, their flavor is more intense than fresh. You only need two tablespoons of chopped dried onion to equal 1/2 cup chopped fresh onion. Separate the onion segments and spread them out evenly on your dehydrator trays in a single layer. Set the temperature of the dehydrator to 125˚F and dry for 3-9 hours. The timing will depend on the size of your onion pieces and moisture content. The dehydrated onions should be crisp and snap when your break them.
