Onion puree
Onion puree is a smooth paste made from onions, which are vegetables that grow underground in the soil. Onions belong to the allium family, along with garlic and leeks. They are commonly used in cooking to add flavour and aroma to dishes. Onion puree is a convenient ingredient that captures the essence of onions without the need for chopping or peeling.
To make onion puree, fresh onions are peeled, finely chopped, and then blended into a smooth paste. Some producers may also cook the onions slightly for a milder flavour before blending them. The resulting puree can be used in a variety of recipes to enhance the taste of soups, stews, sauces, and marinades. It can also be used as a base for curries or blended with other ingredients to make dips or spreads.
Onion puree often appears on food labels as a flavouring agent or a natural additive. It is used to add the distinctive taste of onions to a wide range of food products, such as ready meals, condiments, and savoury snacks. This ingredient can be found in products like pasta sauces, salad dressings, and marinades, where its ability to impart a rich, savoury flavour is highly valued by food manufacturers and consumers alike.
