The "O" Spices

Onion Flakes

Onion Granules

(United States)
A favorite flavoring vegetable for centuries; used
in every cuisine in the world. Onions grown for
dehydration have been specially developed for
high solids and low moisture. Reconstitute flakes
in water for texture, or use easily-blended granules
in almost any savory dish.
Use with meats, poultry, seafood, salads,
vegetables, soups, sauces, omelets, and egg dishes.

Orange Peel

(United States)
Use in desserts, as well as with fruits and chicken or
duckling. Excellent in spiced tea and mulled wines.

Oregano

(Greece, Italy)
A wild variety of marjoram, although a bit
stronger and with a pleasant bitter undertone.
Widely used in Greece and Italy, with a stronger,
cruder version grown in Mexico.
Best known for its use on pizza; also excellent
in pasta sauces, pork, veal, fish, vegetables, dressings,
gravies, seafood, poultry, grilled tomatoes
and all tomato dishes, white sauces, ground beef
and pork, Greek, Italian and Mexican dishes, chili,
egg dishes, and salads.
