About Spices, onion powder
Onion powder is simply dehydrated onion ground into a fine, golden powder. It dissolves into sauces and dressings invisibly, making it useful in places where fresh onion texture would be unwelcome. The flavor is sweet and savory, more concentrated than fresh onion but less sharp. High in carbohydrates and notably high in fiber for a spice, though like all powdered seasonings it contributes very little of either in practical cooking amounts. It keeps well and is one of the most widely used spices in American kitchens.
