Harvesting

Organic red onion flakes are typically grown in fertile, well-drained soil to ensure optimal flavour and nutritional content. The onions are planted in 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 deep red colour and robust flavour. After harvesting, the onions are carefully dried to preserve their natural composition. The drying process ensures that the organic red onion flakes retain their rich colour and potent aroma.

This method also helps to concentrate the natural nutrients, vitamins, and minerals present in the raw product, making them more accessible for consumption. Organic red onion flakes are naturally rich in antioxidants, vitamins C and B6, and essential minerals such as potassium and manganese. These nutrients contribute to the product's health benefits and distinctive taste profile. As a result, the organic red onion flakes offer a convenient way to incorporate the nutritional advantages of fresh red onions into various dishes, while also providing a longer shelf life and ease of use in culinary applications.

The organic nature of Organic Red 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.
