Dehydrated Onion

Treedha's Dehydrated Onion (Sukha Pyaz) originates from Mahuva, Bhavnagar, Gujarat, India, a region celebrated for its robust onion cultivation. The local white onion varieties, grown at elevations between 10-30 metres, yield a distinct pungency and sweetness ideal for dehydration. This specific geographical indication ensures a consistent raw material supply, crucial for bulk buyers seeking reliability.

The unique soil and climatic conditions of Mahuva contribute to the desirable characteristics of the fresh onions, which are then meticulously selected for processing. Sourcing directly from this proven origin allows Treedha to maintain full provenance and consistent quality, providing a distinct advantage for international importers who prioritise traceability and uniformity in their ingredients.

Treedha offers premium white-onion flakes and granules, processed with a focus on low moisture content and high purity. Our Dehydrated Onion products maintain moisture levels below 5%, exceeding the APEDA recommendation of less than 8% for enhanced shelf life and stability. This rigorous standard ensures optimal quality for demanding industrial applications.

Our specifications for both Onion Flakes and Onion Granules are designed for international bulk trade. The product is steam-sterilised and guaranteed ETO-free, with lab testing verifying its adherence to stringent global standards. Below is a comparison table outlining the key specifications for our premium offerings:

Treedha prioritises robust food safety and compliance, particularly for key export markets like the EU and US. Our Dehydrated Onion (Sukha Pyaz) undergoes rigorous steam sterilisation, ensuring it is ethylene-oxide-free (ETO-free). This is critical, as ETO is not permitted as a fumigant for foodstuffs in the EU, and its presence can lead to border rejections via the Rapid Alert System for Food and Feed (RASFF).

All batches are lab-tested to meet international Maximum Residue Limits (MRLs) for pesticides and stringent thresholds for contaminants such as aflatoxins and heavy metals. For instance, EU regulations mandate uniform aflatoxin B1 limits of 5.0 µg/kg for dried spices. Similarly, we ensure the absence of pathogenic microorganisms like Salmonella, which the US FDA monitors closely in imported spices. Our Certificates of Analysis (COA) confirm compliance with these vital regulations, alongside Phytosanitary Certificates and other necessary documentation for seamless global trade.

The global demand for Dehydrated Onion (Sukha Pyaz, Cebolla Deshidratada) is driven by the expanding processed food industries and the increasing consumer preference for convenience foods. Major importing countries include Germany, the United States, the United Kingdom, Japan, and Brazil, with significant demand also observed across the Middle East and the wider European Union bloc (Source: FMI Report, ITC Trade Map).

Key drivers for this demand include the need for shelf-stable ingredients with consistent flavour profiles in soups, sauces, ready meals, and snack foods. Dehydrated white onions offer industrial food technologists reliable pungency without altering the colour of light formulations, alongside operational efficiencies by eliminating the labour and waste associated with fresh produce. Treedha's position as a bulk supplier from India, a leading exporter, addresses this growing global need for quality, compliant ingredients.

The Harmonised System (HS) code for Dehydrated Onion (Sukha Pyaz, Onion Flakes, Onion Granules) in international trade is 0712.20.00. This code covers dried onions in various forms, including flakes and granules, making it standard for customs declarations worldwide. Treedha provides all necessary export documentation, including Phytosanitary Certificates, Certificates of Origin (APEDA), Certificates of Analysis, and Bills of Lading, to facilitate smooth customs clearance.

Our products are supplied in bulk formats tailored for wholesale and private-label buyers. While specific pack sizes such as 100g, 250g, and 500g are available, Treedha primarily caters to larger consignments, offering flexible Minimum Order Quantity (MOQ) approaches designed to meet industrial requirements rather than fixed numbers. We typically provide packaging in multi-wall paper bags with inner liners, HDPE bags, or cartons, ensuring product integrity during transit. Shelf life is projected at 18-24 months when stored in cool, dry conditions, providing ample time for distribution and manufacturing. Incoterms are arranged according to buyer preference, ensuring clarity and efficiency in logistics.
