Product description
QUERCETIN — THE ONION FLAVONOID
Quercetin is one of the most studied plant flavonoids, found in highest concentrations in onion skin and flesh. In onion powder, the quercetin concentration is approximately 20–30x higher than fresh onion (dehydration concentrates it).
Quercetin is:
- Potent antioxidant and anti-inflammatory
- Antihistamine: studied for hay fever and allergic response management
- Neuroprotective: crosses the blood-brain barrier
- Cardiovascular: supports blood pressure regulation
PREBIOTIC FOS (FRUCTOOLIGOSACCHARIDES):
Onions are one of the richest food sources of FOS — prebiotic fibres that selectively feed Bifidobacterium and Lactobacillus in the gut. These pass intact to the colon and feed beneficial bacteria.
ANTIMICROBIAL:
Organosulphur compounds (similar to garlic) support immune defence and oral health.
HOW TO USE:
- Middle Eastern blends: build into shawarma, baharat and kofta/kebab spice mixes, and Gulf rice seasonings
- Meat mixes: kofta, kebab, burger and meatball blends
- Everyday: dry rubs, marinades, dressings, dips, bread doughs, soup and stock bases
- Anywhere fresh onion would take too long to cook down

For most people, less acute bloating — smaller dose per serving (8g powder vs 80–100g fresh onion) reduces total FOS consumed. However, people with IBS or on a low-FODMAP diet may still react. Consult your dietitian for FODMAP-restricted diets.For most people, less acute bloating — smaller dose per serving (8g powder vs 80–100g fresh onion) reduces total FOS consumed.

Per gram, significantly more nutrient-dense than fresh (dehydration concentrates everything). Per serving as used in cooking, fresh onion provides more total quercetin and FOS. Key benefit: onion powder adds quercetin and prebiotic benefit to dishes where fresh onion is not practical.Per gram, significantly more nutrient-dense than fresh (dehydration concentrates everything).
