How we make it

From Mahuva fields to export pallets

Low-temperature drying, colour sorting and food-grade packing preserve aroma, taste and nutrition.

  1. Selection

    We handpick farm-fresh onions and premium-grade garlic bulbs from trusted farms around Mahuva that meet strict quality and maturity benchmarks.

  2. Peeling & Washing

    Onions and garlic cloves are fully peeled and cleaned using industrial washers to remove dirt, outer skins and any pesticide residue.

  3. Slicing / Frying

    Uniform slicing ensures every piece dehydrates evenly. For fried onions the slices are fried at a controlled oil temperature for a golden-brown crisp without excess oil absorption.

  4. Dehydration

    Low-temperature drying (under 60°C) in hygienic, stainless steel trays preserves aroma, taste and nutritional value and prevents nutrient loss.

  5. Cooling & Sorting

    Products are cooled, then passed through Colour Sortex machines to ensure colour consistency, uniform size and the removal of impurities.

  6. Grinding

    On request, dehydrated onion and garlic are processed into flakes, granules, minced or powder using stainless steel hammer mills and grinding systems.

  7. Packing

    Finished goods are packed in food-grade, moisture-resistant, multi-layer bags (10 kg, 14 kg, 20 kg) to ensure shelf stability, freshness and hygiene.
