Harvesting

Organic onion flakes are typically grown in fertile, well-drained soil to ensure optimal flavour and nutritional content. The onions are usually planted in the early spring and harvested in late summer or early autumn when the bulbs have reached full maturity. This timing allows the onions to develop their characteristic pungent and sweet flavour. After harvesting, the onions are carefully dried to preserve their natural composition. The drying process helps to concentrate the flavour and aroma of the onions while also extending their shelf life.

The resulting organic onion flakes are a rich golden-brown colour, reflecting the natural pigments present in the onions. As a natural raw product, organic onion flakes contain essential nutrients such as vitamin C, vitamin B6, and dietary fibre. These nutrients contribute to the overall health benefits of the product, including immune support and digestive health. No additional nutrients or minerals are typically added to organic onion flakes, as their natural composition is already rich in essential vitamins and minerals. Overall, the process of growing, harvesting, and processing organic onion flakes ensures that the product retains its natural composition and nutritional value, making it a versatile and healthy ingredient for a wide range of culinary applications.

The organic nature of Organic Onion Flakes means that it is grown and harvested without the use of synthetic pesticides or fertilisers, preserving its natural composition.

Best Before

We believe in mindful consumption and want to share some insights on best before dates, especially when it comes to our dried foods. Best before dates indicate peak freshness and quality, not safety. Dried foods, such as grains and legumes, can often be safe and nutritious beyond their best before dates. They may lose a bit of their peak quality, but they remain a valuable and sustainable food source.

We encourage you to trust your senses. If stored properly and free from moisture, dried foods can maintain their safety and flavour for an extended period beyond the best before date. Embrace a less wasteful approach by exploring and using these ingredients even if they've passed their best before dates. Together, let's reduce food waste and maximise the full potential of every pantry staple.

Explore Waste Savers, where you'll find items approaching or past their best before date at reduced prices. Embrace conscious consumption, reduce food waste, and give these products a second chance. Your purchase not only saves you money but also contributes to a more sustainable and mindful approach to nourishment.

Packaging & Storage

You’ll receive your Organic Onion Flakes in a compostable kraft bag (unless you chose to get a compostable resealable pouch instead). These will be fine stored in the kraft bag for an extended time although, we recommend decanting and storing them in an airtight container to maintain optimum quality. Once decanted, you can save multiple bags and return them to us for a reward.
