Onion flakes are made from fresh onions that are coarsely chopped and then dehydrated. They lack much of the pungency of fresh onions, but they are convenient and have a great flavour and aroma. They can be used as a substitution for fresh onions in various dishes.

Uses:
1. They can be used in everything from sauces to salad dressing. 
2. Onion flakes can be roasted or fried until crisp and dry.
3. Roasted onion flakes are used in small quantities to bring crispness and piquant, roasted onion flavour to salads, sandwiches, dipping sauces, spreads etc.
4. They can be sprinkled on pizza or sandwiches.
5. Onion flakes are an attractive garnish as well as a nice finisher to lighter dishes.
