- Benefits
- They drastically reduce (if not totally eliminate) the initial cooking time and energy needed for onions to develop their flavor.
- They typically have an application rate of only about 70-80% vs. fresh/IQF due to the natural moisture reduction having already occurred during the cooking process.
- By being aseptically packed, these can be kept in standard ambient storage without refrigeration or having to rely on a costly fresh/frozen supply chain typically attributed to onions.
- Ready To Use by virtue of these being already cooked and packed aseptic

- Expected Usage
Raw culinary preparations or with heat treatment as a condiment for other dishes (pasta, stews, soups, etc.) or products (tortillas, empanadas, sandwiches, pizzas, hamburgers, sausages, pâtés, etc.).
