In this video you'll learn how to make freeze dried Onion Powder for food storage and cooking.

It takes about 20-25 lbs of onions and 46-55 hours in the medium Harvest Right freeze dryer depending on how heavy you load it.

If any onions do not completely dry out, you can put them in the oven a cookie sheet at 150-175°F for an hour.
Some ovens nowadays will not go lower than 175°F so watch your onions carefully.

Be sure to wear rubber gloves as the allicin in the onions penetrates your skin and you'll smell like onions for part of the day or night.

Onions have sugar in them so be sure to dry them thoroughly and to use oxygen packets and silicone moisture packets when you store them for short or long term storage. This will keep the moisture out and prevent your powder from going black.

I use the moisture packets in EVERY pouch I put freeze dried products in as they absorb any moisture left over and prevent the product/food from spoiling while it is stored.
