McCormick Culinary Minced Onion is a 17-ounce container of dried white onion flakes that deliver concentrated onion flavor and ready-to-use texture for cooking without chopping.

These minced onion flakes start from whole white onions harvested at peak ripeness, then gently dehydrated to preserve their sweet, pungent character. Packaged in a generous 17-ounce canister with a wide top opening, this product is made for busy kitchens, home cooks and foodservice pros who want consistent onion flavor fast. The flakes rehydrate quickly in liquids and can be used dry for seasoning or texture, making them a versatile pantry staple.

How much fresh onion does one teaspoon of minced onion replace?

McCormick Culinary minced onion is concentrated: a small measured amount replaces a larger volume of fresh onion. This helps scale recipes and reduce prep time while retaining familiar onion taste.

• 3 teaspoons of dried flakes approximate 1/2 cup of chopped fresh onion when rehydrated
• Adjust up or down for milder or stronger onion presence in the final dish
• Use measuring spoons for predictable seasoning in commercial or home recipes

Where does it work best in cooking and how do I use it?

Dehydrated minced onion is adaptable across many preparations whenever you want onion flavor without chopping. It’s excellent in slow-simmered dishes, baked casseroles, and dry rubs, plus quick sauces and dips.

• Stir flakes directly into soups, stews and sauces to rehydrate and release flavor
• Mix into meatballs, burger mixes or meatloaf for even distribution of onion taste
• Add to dry seasoning blends, relishes and breadcrumb coatings for texture and aroma
• Rehydrate briefly in warm water if a softer texture is preferred before adding to salads or dips

Does this product save time for cooks and kitchen staff?

Yes — using minced onion eliminates peeling, slicing and dicing, cutting labor and prep steps. The wide-mouth 17-ounce container is sized for repeated use in back-of-house settings and busy home kitchens.

• No chopping required: drop measured flakes straight into recipes
• Long shelf life reduces waste and inventory turnover compared with fresh onions
• Consistent flavor and particle size make recipe scaling and batch cooking simpler
