Smith & Truslow Organic Minced Onion is USDA certified organic and third-party tested for heavy metals — delivering the rich, savory, full-bodied onion flavor and satisfying texture that makes minced onion one of the most convenient and versatile ingredients in every serious cook's pantry.
Our organic minced onion is made from premium certified organic onions, carefully dehydrated at low temperatures to preserve their natural sweetness, essential oils, and robust onion flavor. The result is a coarser, more textured dried onion product that rehydrates beautifully during cooking — delivering the presence and flavor of freshly chopped onion without the prep time, tears, or inconsistency of cutting fresh onions from scratch. Whether you're building a hearty beef stew, seasoning a meatloaf, flavoring a pot of chili, adding depth to a slow-cooker dish, or creating a homemade onion soup mix, Smith & Truslow organic minced onion delivers a convenience and flavor that fresh onions and conventional minced onion simply can't match.
Minced Onion vs Granulated Onion vs Onion Powder — What's the Difference?
Minced onion, granulated onion, and onion powder are three forms of dehydrated onion — each with its own distinct texture, flavor profile, and best use in the kitchen. Minced onion is the coarsest of the three — small, visible pieces of dehydrated onion that rehydrate during cooking to deliver a texture similar to freshly chopped onion. It adds both onion flavor and a subtle textural presence to dishes where you want to see and feel the onion rather than have it disappear invisibly into the background. Granulated onion is a medium-coarse powder that adds bold onion flavor without visible texture — ideal for dry rubs, spice blends, and marinades. Onion powder is the finest grind — dissolving instantly and invisibly into liquids and sauces for seamlessly distributed onion flavor. For slow-cooked dishes, soups, stews, and anything with sufficient moisture to rehydrate the pieces, minced onion is the superior choice. For dry rubs and spice blends where texture would be disruptive, granulated onion or onion powder is better.
Why Our Organic Minced Onion Is Different
Most conventional minced onion is made from onions grown with synthetic pesticides and processed with anticaking agents and preservatives to extend shelf life. Some cheaper brands blend minced onion with onion skins, outer layers, and low-quality byproducts to reduce costs at the expense of flavor and purity. Not ours. Every lot of Smith & Truslow organic minced onion is made from 100% certified organic onion with nothing added — no anticaking agents, no preservatives, no fillers, no irradiation — and tested by an accredited third-party lab against heavy metal specifications more stringent than industry standards. Pure minced onion. Maximum flavor. Nothing hidden.

Storage and Shelf Life
Storage and Shelf Life
Storage: To maximize freshness, store in a dark airtight container in a cool dry place. Once the spice is ground, flavor deteriorates with exposure to light, heat, air, humidity and time. Here are rules of thumb about the shelf life of spices and herbs >
NOTE: The plastic refill bags are not intended for long-term storage of your spices. Due to the porous nature of plastic, the essential oils that are released when a spice is ground, may react with the plastic and/or labelling inks over time.
Refill bags contain the same amount of spice as in our small glass jars. When they arrive, simply snip the corner of your bag, refill your original Smith & Truslow spice jar, apply the new label, and recycle the bag.
