Organic toasted onion pieces 0.5–3 mm, bulk

Product description

Biova organic onion is made from yellow cooking onions from Egypt, roughly cut into pieces of about 0.5–3 cm and gently toasted. The golden-brown onion pieces offer a crunchy texture and a well-balanced roasted aroma for professional kitchens.

Careful drying and toasting concentrate the natural flavour, bring out the onion’s subtle sweetness and create roast notes reminiscent of classic crispy onions. The coarse, granulated / crushed structure ensures an even particle size that is easy to dose, blend and process further.

In use, the coarse granulated organic onion complements fresh onion wherever speed, flavour and crunch are required. It is ideal for soups, sauces, stews, pan dishes and as a visible crunchy topping on salads, bowls, snacks, as well as for spice blends in foodservice and artisan production.

Origin

The yellow onions for this organic onion come from Egypt, where sunny, dry conditions and well-drained soils promote an intense aroma. Selected growing areas provide a well-balanced flavour profile that is particularly suitable for Biova’s coarse granulated bulk products.

Cultivation / production / harvest

The organic onion is grown in line with organic standards and harvested at optimum maturity. After washing and peeling, the bulbs are roughly cut, gently dried and then toasted before being packed as granulated / crushed / coarse bulk in 1.05 kg units.

Key features

Typical are the coarse pieces of about 0.5–3 cm and the golden-yellow to lightly browned colour of the toasted onion. Toasting intensifies roasted and caramel notes, highlights the natural sweetness and makes the product ideal for spice blends, convenience products and decorative toppings with visible crunch.

Differences in origin and processing

Depending on the country of origin, onion flavour ranges from mild-sweet to robust and savoury; Egyptian onions show a well-balanced aromatic profile. Thanks to targeted toasting, this organic onion clearly differs from air-dried, untoasted onions and offers a crunchier texture.

Taste & aroma

On the nose, it shows a hearty onion aroma with gentle sweetness and subtle roasted notes. On the palate, mild pungency, pleasant sweetness and slightly nutty roast flavours combine, while the coarse pieces deliver a light crunch.

Suggested uses

• Use as a crunchy topping for salads, bowls, burgers, hot dogs or savoury snacks.
