Onion Powder

Have a recipe that requires Onion Powder does anybody know where I can buy it from or can I use something else to replace it?

Bin Inn

Or use finely chopped fresh onions

Some health food shops have it. Bin Inn sometimes does and Fruit World also has it, probably the cheapest from there. Also some gourmet food shops will have it.

I use Maggie's onion soup packets when recipes call for onion powder.

I buy mine from Indian spice shops.

I buy mine from Steve's Wholefoods here in Palmy which is a Binn Inn type of shop. They come in little green and yellow pottles.

Make it if you don't want to use actual onions, it's easy enough.

How please?

I make my own onion & garlic powder by dehydrating them, them using a spice grinder - whizz them to powder.

Both Binn Inn and Davis Trading in Petone have it. It's worth it to get some even if you have to order online. A pottle lasts me ages.

Gather a few onions, peel onions , slice into thin slices (1/4 inch or less) and put on sheet on lowest setting in the oven (150 or less).
Dehydrate until they are completely dry and not leathery. They should be brittle enough to break by hand. Check every few hours and remove any pieces that are done.
When all are done drying, put into coffee grinder, food processor or blender. If you want a mixed seasoned salt, blend them all together.
Once they are finely powdered, leave in food processor or blender with lid on for at least 10 minutes to let it settle.
Store in glass jars and enjoy!

About 600g of fresh onion will dehydrate to about 50g of powder

I buy it from Davis Trading in Palmy, quite cheap too.
