Dried Onion — Flakes, Granules and Powder, Supplied from India
Dehydrated dried onion from Rural Exim is export grade, lab tested, and customized or OEM packed with branding as required — a clean, consistent product for industrial kitchens, grocery stores, FMCG units and food plants. Sourced and coordinated through our contract units mainly in Andhra Pradesh, Maharashtra, Gujarat and nearby regions, available as flakes, kibbled pieces, granules or fine powder to international specifications. Dried onion is classified in India under HSN 07122000.
What Is Dried Onion, and Which Form Do You Need?
Dried onion is prepared from fresh onion by removing roughly 88–93% of its moisture through a controlled dehydration process, which keeps flavour, aroma and shelf life without refrigeration. It is available in several forms depending on the buyer's requirement:
Forms and Variants
Kibbled / Flakes
Coarse pieces, used where a visible piece or texture is wanted — soup mixes, seasoning blends.
Minced / Chopped
Smaller than flakes, used in sauces, dips and ready-to-eat meals.
Granules
Finer than flakes, used in dry spice mixes and snack seasoning.
Powder
Fully ground, used where the onion needs to blend smoothly into a mix, batter or sauce base.
Applications and Industries Served
Food processing and ready-to-eat meals
Used as a base flavour ingredient in soups, sauces and canned or packaged food, avoiding fresh-onion handling and storage.
Spice blending and seasoning manufacturing
Onion granules and powder are common components of spice mixes, seasoning packets and instant noodle/soup flavour sachets.
Snack and savory food manufacturing
Onion powder and fine granules flavour snack coatings and savory products.
Hospitality and bulk catering
Kibbled and flake forms suit commercial kitchens where quick rehydration and no prep time matter.

Quality and Compliance
Quality is our priority throughout sourcing, coordination with manufacturers, processing and shipment. We work with established processing units under contract manufacturing across Andhra Pradesh, Maharashtra, Gujarat and nearby regions that follow international process, food-safety and quality practices.
Their systems commonly cover food safety and quality management (HACCP-oriented processes, ISO-based systems, batch-wise tracking and lab checks for moisture, foreign matter and microbiological limits), Indian regulatory compliance (FSSAI licensing, APEDA registration, Spice Board registration where applicable), and market-specific certifications (Kosher/Halal, USFDA registration) arranged on a product- and order-specific basis.
For every shipment we provide the relevant quality documents — certificate of analysis, packing list, invoice and any agreed third-party inspection or phytosanitary formalities — for a traceable record from raw material to finished consignment.

Rural Exim supplies dehydrated onion in packaging formats fitting small trial orders (LCL), full container loads (FCL) and air consignments. Standard options include 1 kg, 2.5 kg, 10 kg and 25 kg packs, with custom sizes, inner liners and outer packaging arranged to the buyer's requirement.
Retail/sample packs use food-grade HDPE/PP with aluminum-foil or metalised inner liner for moisture and aroma protection.

Custom packaging covers private-label printed pouches, specific net weights and master-carton configurations aligned to the importer's distribution system.
All packaging carries clear labelling for batch/lot, net weight and manufacturing/best-before dates. Export documentation — commercial invoice, packing list, certificate of analysis and any agreed inspection or phytosanitary papers — is prepared in line with the agreed Incoterm and port of loading.
