Onion flakes are made when fresh onions have been both minced and then allowed to dry. The drying process involves the use of a dehydration machine that takes away the moisture without cooking the onion. They are found in the spice aisle of the grocery store. This substitute for onions can be used to replace onions in certain recipes like when making soups or stews. Onion flakes can be made from red, white or yellow onions.

Onion flakes are much more concentrated than other types of onion substitutes. One tablespoon of flakes is equal to one whole onion.
