Burlap & Barrel - Caramelized Onions

Category: Spices

These gorgeous, crispy, intensely flavorful onion flakes are made from Safrane Globe onions, a particularly sweet variety with a pungent bite. They are dried within days of harvesting, and the flavor is caramelized and savory, it's hard to believe that the only ingredient is onions — but it is!

The raw onions are prized for their size and firm texture, as well as their beautiful bronzed skin, and the drying process concentrates their natural sugars and deepens their flavor. These small, crunchy flakes are out-of-this-world delicious as a garnish or substitute for fresh onions in a cooked dish. They're also perfectly suited for savory breads and roasted proteins.

COOKING TIPS: 

  • Infuse in rice or pasta water
  • Bloom in oil at the start of cooking any dish
  • Add to a soup or stew at the end of cooking for a sweet, oniony crunch
Origin: Wolfe Farms, New York

Process: Chopped and dried

Burlap & Barrel

Burlap & Barrel

Burlap & Barrel is a Public Benefit Corporation building new international food supply chains that are equitable, transparent and traceable.

A single origin spice company, Burlap & Barrel buys spices from farmers around the globe, who they call partners. They’ve eliminated the intermediaries who have traditionally bought and sold spices multiple times before any jar of spice lands in a U.S. customer’s kitchen cabinet. This means their spices are fresher than what you can find from the big spice companies. Spices so potent that they suggest new customers use just half a serving at first, as they sometimes get feedback from customers that the spices are too strong. It's not that the spices are too strong, but rather we are just accustomed to cooking with old spices! Did you know that supermarket spices sometimes have been in transit for three years?!?!?

Another benefit to eliminating spice brokers is that Burlap & Barrel can pay the farmers more for their crops while offering quality spices to the public at affordable prices.

SUPPORTING SMALLHOLDER FARMERS

Burlap & Barrel is working towards ending inequality and exploitation in food systems that disenfranchise skilled farmers.

They do this by:

  • Connecting smallholder farmers to high-value markets
  • Educating consumers about the impact of product traceability on human rights
  • Sourcing unique foods with terroir that are grown biodynamically and organically using traditional techniques

REDEFINING SUSTAINABILITY

Mainstream conversations around food sustainability rarely consider the people involved in growing, harvesting, transporting, processing and cooking food. Sustainability is discussed in terms of environmental impact, or the comfort of livestock providing meat, dairy or eggs.

The folks at Burlap & Barrel believe that the standard measures of sustainability must evolve to consider the conditions in which the farmers who drive global food supply chains earn their livelihoods. Single origin ingredients draw attention to the unique environments in which incredible ingredients grow and to the farmers with the expertise and commitment to grow them well.
