Harvesting and Production Process

Onion flakes are produced by carefully harvesting mature onions at their peak quality, followed by cleaning, slicing, and controlled dehydration using hot air drying methods. This process maintains the integrity, color, and flavor of the onion while removing moisture to prevent spoilage. Stringent quality control measures ensure consistent flake size and cleanliness.
