1. Who Am I?
   Pink onion flakes are a dehydrated form of onion, primarily sourced from India, designed to simplify your culinary preparations. They belong to the Allium family, like garlic and shallots. Convenient and easy to incorporate into your dishes, they provide all the flavor of onion without the tears or lingering smell. Thanks to the dehydration process, pink onion flakes retain all their flavors, adding a mild and slightly sweet touch to your dishes while being easy to digest.

2. Culinary Uses
   Pink onion flakes are an incredibly versatile ingredient, perfect for a multitude of recipes:

• Sauces and Stews: Add them directly to your sauces, soups, stews, or casseroles for a well-distributed sweet onion flavor.

• Omelettes and Egg Dishes: Sprinkle them into your raw eggs before cooking. After a short rehydration, they provide a fresh onion flavor without the bitterness of raw onions.

• Salads: Rehydrate them by adding a few drops of water to your vinaigrette for incorporation into your salads. They add crunch and a slightly sweet flavor that pairs perfectly with raw vegetables.

• Grilled Meats and Vegetables: Sprinkle them on your meats or vegetables before grilling for a rich, delicate flavor.

The flakes rehydrate quickly with the moisture from the dishes or by adding a little water. This presentation allows for quick and practical use in both simple and elaborate dishes.

3. A Bit of History
   Onion, originating from Southwest Asia, is one of the oldest vegetables in the world. Cultivated for over 4,000 years, its traces can be found in writings from ancient Egypt. Consumed and revered by ancient civilizations, it became a staple in European kitchens by the Middle Ages. Onions have evolved over time, diversifying into various varieties and colors, with each region adapting its cultivation techniques and uses.

Pink onions, in particular, owe their color to anthocyanins, powerful antioxidants, while flavonols give yellow onions their hue. Used worldwide, they are recognized for their health benefits, particularly their antioxidant properties and beneficial effects on the cardiovascular system.
