Features & Benefits

Benefits
  • Drastically reduce or eliminate the initial cooking time and energy needed for onions to develop their flavor.
  • Typical application rate of only about 70-80% vs. fresh/IQF due to the natural moisture evaporation 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, Low Micros, by virtue of these being already cooked and packed aseptic.

Applications & Uses

Applications
  • Meat fillings (such as empanadas)
  • Quiche type of pies
  • Sauces (large proven applications in ethnic sauces requiring a strong onion base and extensive pre-cooking of onions)
  • Dressings (as a superior alternative to commonly used raw onion puree)
  • Soups: used as an alternative to IQF raw onions, customers state seeing an improved / more rounded out flavor
  • Industrial baking (such as focaccia bread types...)
  • Asian food (such as dumpling/rolls applications)
  • Burritos
  • Breakfast pockets
