Our dried Chopped Onion is the "Tear-Free" way to add onions to your favorite dishes. Did you know you can use dried onions in any recipe that calls for fresh? If the recipe is brothy, say a soup or a stew, throw the dried onion into the pot when you add the liquid. It'll rehydrate perfectly as it simmers. One tablespoon of dried, minced onion equals one small fresh onion, minced.
