Only sent half the order. One bag, not two as described.
The item description says it contains two one-pound bags. The item I received includes only one bag, enclosed in a clear plastic bag with a sticker saying, “sold as set.”
The Good: 1. Fair prices can be found for this at least when I bought it. 2. This is definately White Onion and has alot of clean healthy flavor. There is no chemical taste. Sometimes in the USA at least, I have heard of crops being sprayed with 'treated' waste water. I have bought whole white onions at stores in the USA and depending on where they came from, I could actually taste things that I am pretty sure are related to the 'treated' waste water. If you have looked at a onion closely, Most of its layers are like leaves of lettuce which meet at the end of the onion and this allows liquids that are sprayed on top of the onion to actually enter the layers of the onion inside (my theory). This is why I was able to taste the 'treated' waste water even after peeling off a layer or two of the onion. 3. In the question and answer section for this product, people have answered that the frontier website says this is sourced in Egypt. I believe it is true because of the lack of chemical smell or taste and there is no detectable 'treated' waste water taste.
The Bad: 1. The packaging is some kind of plastic material that is not resealable. I believe all plastics have harmful chemicals in them. some plastics have more or worse chemicals than other types of plastics. I couldnt find any number on the bag that says what kind of plastic it was. Although this is a bad thing, its still a much better product than I have seen anywhere else so far.
Best onion powder you can buy for the price and quality. I have never had a bad product from Frontier and buying spices and herbs this way is so much more cost effective and fresh. This is a fine powder but flows easily and is mixable without fillers. It smells and tastes like extremely good, fresh cut sweet onion.
Excellent value and quality. Why pay $4++ for a few ounces at the grocery store when you can get a LB that stays fresh for a fraction of the price. These seasonings are the very best, I have been using them and buying them in bulk for years. Great quality from a small company. MADE IN USA
This onion powder really smells like onion. The price is really good, especially compared to the tiny store jars. The value is great, maybe tu great. I bought 2 pounds because of this so I have to find creative used for this. When I make bread I am now adding some of this and of course use it in BBQ rubs. Works nicely in bean chili I’d you are in a rush and don’t want to sautée fresh onions.
This onion powder is a lot different than what you typically buy in the store. It is literally a powder, much like powdered sugar. It has a rich, sweet oniony-smell though and adds a great flavor to any dish. It's a much better deal to buy it in bulk rather than buying a jar at a time! The consistency helps it blend well into anything from sauces to soups. Most onion "powders" have more of a granule consistency which can make them hard to dissolve. That's not the case for this. Try it, you'll love it!
My wife found one of the bags open after we had had it a while, so I didn't catch it in time to return it. This powder is one of the finest-ground powders I have ever seen! The grounds are infinitesimal. There is no real impact on taste, but if you are looking for a "chunkier" powder for some reason, you may not find this 100% to your liking. The taste is...onion-y for sure, but is not exactly like the onion powders I have bought in the store. It must be due to the species grown or something. We have used it in recipes and have not had a problem, just takes a little getting used to. We will buy it again. The price makes it worth a little change in the taste and grind.
I love Frontier organic spices! When I received my package of onion powder, it was exactly as I had expected an onion powder to be - finely ground. I know some people have complained about that fact, but that's what onion powder is! If you want something not quite as powdery, then you're looking for "granulated" onion, not onion powder. I use this in so many things, including a homemade recipe for dry onion soup mix. It's easy to measure out the amount I want and mix in with the other ingredients. It even works well mixing one part of this onion powder to three parts sea salt to make your own onion salt. The flavor of this onion powder is outstanding - superior to any other brand I've tried by far! No complaints here, I highly recommend this product!
Frontier products are excellent in general. Their organic products are the best I've found on the market shy from having my own organic herb garden. The flavor is just right and authentic and you can add as much as you want without the extra strain of washing and cutting onions to add to soups. I'm waiting to be able to find their GRANULATED onion available for sale in these large quantities but I can only find them in the smaller bottles. Their organic, granulated onion can go into raw and cooked dishes. The organic onion powder does best in cooked dishes because the powder emulsifies better with heat.
